At least we will probably won't see it.
Don't be so sure... BIG changes often happen very suddenly and unexpectedly. The Feds are all set to go with respect to introducing fully digital currency controlled by central banks and outlawing cash. The hold up for them is the digital ID that is needed to make that work. AI is also part of that, but I think for this purpose, they already have what they need because that level of AI is already old tech. I think they are using immigration and the thought of non citizens voting as a means of getting the Right on board with accepting digital IDs for voting verification.
IF... IF... national voter ID happens, I predict it will be the proverbial camel's nose under the tent. While it might be offered as being used ONLY for voting, it will VERY quickly get adopted for all manner of things by banks, insurance companies, employers, etc,... Once that piece falls into place, there will likely be a financial crisis, similar to something like what we saw in 2006-2008, that will be used as the excuse to usher in the digital currency. It will be proffered as the solution to the crisis and people will be so freaked out that they will accept anything if they actually believe it will give them relief from the effects of the crisis. FEAR is a HUGE level for government to use against its people. It works almost every time and they never hesitate to use it.
Most modern vehicles are already part of the "internet of things". Old vehicles are EASY to get rid off without having to outright ban them or confiscate them. Insurance companies can either refuse to insure them or make the rates so high that people will have no choice but to get rid of them. Or, as is done right now by most insurance companies, your rates will be crazy high but they will offer a "safe driver discount". Of course, this will not be based on your history as a safe driver, but rather on constant live monitoring of your real time driving behavior. They already offer devices that plug into your car to do this. The discounts are in the range of 30-40% reductions in your premium if you accept this tech "voluntarily". As our economy continues to implode and things get more expensive, this will become more and more "appealing" to people as they see ways to save money.
The digital ID ties it all together by providing the link between all your devices, services, etc... There is even a push to force use of the digital ID for EVERYTHING you do on the internet so they can monitor AND control what you do on the internet. A kill switch in your car now for "safety" will become the same kill switch to disable your car because you have been deemed unworthy of the privilege to drive. You will be tracked and monitored everywhere you go (pretty much already are).
All these things are not conspiracy lunacy. They are all ACTUAL stated objectives of the people in power and in places to actually make it happen, public officials and private billionaire techs. They talk about it openly. They have conferences about it. They write about it. They give interviews about it. It is all out there but most people simple are not paying attention because they don't have the time to look into it and the mainstream media is a vested interest that has NO interest in keeping you informed about such things
This is the land of the "free". We will not be asked to show our papers. There will be no need for them
Instead, we will be asked to look into retinal scanners, much like the ones used in Iraq during the GWOT to identify and track people there during our occupation.
It is not all a certain outcome, but is the desired outcome of those in power. Will the people at large accept it? Will they try to rise up? It is hard to resist the government when it has total control over all your resources and can track you at a level never even contemplated in the wildest dreams of tyrants of the past
