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.
Passports have already been like that for a few decades (minus the card part. Some countries still need and/or use the paper pages.)
