Facial Recognition Technology reveals fake CDLs

It's about time. Now all the states need to share their information.

 

1984

PS: My CDL is legit

 

Not quite big brother - the machine is simply doing what people could do by manually comparing pictures, but at a much higher rate.

 

Washington State uses facial recognition with the Enhanced DL as well as the Ports for TWIC cards. This is a good thing in my opinion. With so many odd people running aroung planet earth, its good to know who is human and if they are in fact whom they say they are.

 

More like Skynet (Terminator).

I'm sure someone had to go through the list of computer-generated matches and look at each "match" individually.

If not, I'm sure someone is getting sued big time.

 

Agreed, but 38 is a lot less costly than several hundred thousand.

And that's 38 less unqualified CDL drivers out there that were driving freight rates down

 

Whatever new technology is developed and used to weed out fraudulent CDLs will not be nearly enough to offset the amount of tech that is just purely intrusive.

We're already on the slippery slope so many have feared, and not just in this industry, but society-wide.
