States in the US are watching the rollout.

Austrians can now generate mobile driving licenses (mDLs) on their smartphones, the federal ministry of Internal Affairs announced.

To generate the mDL, Austrians are required to download the eID smartphone app, register for a digital ID then upload their physical driving license. The announcement did not clarify why fingerprint or face recognition is required.
