I highly doubt passwords will entirely disappear in favour of &amp;quot;Trusona&amp;quot;. I personally will not be submitting to any authentication scheme that can &amp;quot;100% identify the person remotely&amp;quot;. It sounds like a bigger vulnerability than the one it solves.&lt;p&gt;I also find it hard to believe that the FBI can remotely disable a car&amp;#x27;s engine in the general case. I drive a car which has no ECU. And even cars which do have ECUs don&amp;#x27;t all have the ability for the ECU to receive radio signals. And even cars that do have the ability to control the ECU with radio signals probably aren&amp;#x27;t &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; vulnerable.&lt;p&gt;Edit: but, aside from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the talk. I intend to watch the film.</text></comment>

What I do not understand (I am a European) is that he uses a credit card, but not a credit card. I just did an AirBnB and I was prohibited by the system to use my debit card. I was outraged. I still am. I had to buy a separate debit-credit-card to be able to use AirBnB services. AirBnB supports iDeal (Dutch payment system), but only for bookings &amp;gt;6 days.&lt;p&gt;From my point of view, using a debit card is far superior to using a credit card. Why would I want to debt myself to pay stuff? I have enough on my account to pay for a mere AirBnB. I don&amp;#x27;t want to indebt myself. yet, there is a system which &lt;i&gt;forces&lt;/i&gt; me to.</text></comment>
