福克斯新闻 你支持使用电子驾驶证吗

Fox on Tech. We use our smartphones to do most things, talk, text, even listen to music. Why not use it to verify who we are? A new study says many people would be on board with that.

It would still involve showing a photo: "But your mobile drivers license¹ could simply say that you're over the age of 21 versus² showing your exact birth date."

Rob Mikell is with Morpho-Trust, which commissioned the study that found well more than half of respondents would go for having a mobile driver's license app and using it to renew their license.

As you might expect, millennials gave the prospect³ the highest rate of approval at 64 percent: "Pretty overwhelming response and for any company to get that level of response,

you're certainly very excited about moving forward and fulfilling that need in the community."

In fact for the last two years, it's gotten a test run in Iowa and with the favorable results, they're looking to expand there as well as in states like Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland and Virginia.

欢迎您收听福克斯科技新闻，聊天、发短信乃至听音乐，我们大部分的活动都是用智能手机完成的。那我们干嘛不用手机来证明我们的身份呢？最近一项研究表示，很多人都会赞成这一做法。

尽管我们还是需要上传照片：“但电子驾驶证只能证明我们年龄达到了21岁，却不能显示我们具体的出生日期。”

罗布·迈克是Morpho-Trust的员工，该公司做了一项研究，发现绝大部分受访者都会支持制作电子驾驶证来替换旧的驾驶证。

大家可能已经猜到了，在这些支持者中，千禧一代所占比例最大，他们占到了64%的比例：“这样的反馈实在是相当惊人，对任何进行研究的公司来说都是如此，所以我们肯定会特别期待向前迈进，满足大家的这一需求。”

事实上，前两年，该公司已经在爱荷华州做过测试了，测试结果比较乐观，目前他们正盼望在该州推广，同时也在科罗拉多州、路易斯安纳州、马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州推广。
