Too Long; Didn't Read

Food vendors in California are embracing facial recognition — technology that lets you pay with a smile. CaliBurger, a California-based fast food chain, has been using facial recognition technology to simplify the checkout process for almost two years now. MasterCard has recently launched its Selfie Pay Wallet — a digital wallet that requires Face ID to complete a payment. In China, a facial recognition system is already used by police to identify jaywalkers and some police officers are already wearing AR-glasses with built-in facial recognition.
