Soon you could be keeping the keys to your car in a wallet, along with your
credit cards. Swedish scientist Fred Goldberg has developed a smartcard that

qualified to drive. Drivers with too many penalty points on their licence or who
were not qualified to drive a particular vehicle would be unable to start the
engine.
