I am no fan of digital ID's but did he really need a FOIA request to break open the idea that Apple were thinking of adding drivers license to their native app and talking to the DVLA in various states about it?

>“How did it happen? Why had I or no one ever heard of it, given I know a lot of folks in the government tech space?”

Apparently this guy doesnt know much ... but enough to waste some peoples time with useless FOIA requests.

UK shows off prototype of digital iPhone driving license using Apple’s Wallet app - May. 13th 2016 11:06 am PT [1]

Louisiana, where I live, was the first state to roll out a digital driver's license on July 3, 2018, and a few other states are working on similar initiatives. The app that you use in Louisiana is called LA Wallet. [2]
