I heard that China has such a advanced facial technology that even their CCTV cameras use it. When you commit a crime in China, a simple crime like jaywalking, the CCTV cameras can see who you are and automatically issue you a fine without any questions asked. They don't even need police officers, it is done automatically with artificial intelligence and facial recognition.
Well come to think of it, most countries use number plate recognition to issue traffic fines for traffic offenses, so it is not unlikely for this to transition to face recognition to target people without number plates. The UK are covered with very advances CCTV cameras and they use face recognition software to identify possible criminals in high risk areas.
CCTV and face recognition software are being improved at a rapid pace, so it is not unrealistic that these cameras would be used as a payment method in the future.
