Literally shoot me if this becomes a reality. I don't want my ability to travel to be dependent on something with a steadily dying battery.
If anything, I wish they made passports into the size of a regular ID so it fits in a wallet/cardholder and you don’t have to worry about it getting folded or wet. Make visas and stamps digital so a chip scan of the card provides all the info, instead of eye/face recognition/tracking.
For many years now whenever I travel within EU I use my EU identity card and it's very convenient. Would indeed be great if I could use something like it outside EU as well.
Rationally I agree, but at the same time I actually really like the passport booklet. I don’t know, it feels so much more official.
