I use to joke that its a miracle people are still allowed to go outside without a specific reason and/or permission. Corona made it less funny. I still have my pedestrians should wear reflective jackets helmets, safety shoes and knee pads joke. Curious how long that will last.

Some jurisdictions already require pedestrians to wear reflective objects at night.

We do have driving licences, I fully expect cycling and eventually walking licences in future.

It won't be named license mind you. For cycling mandatory insurance will be probably implemented very soon. For walking? I believe it will be a very long time until some license is needed. One idea I can think of is that maybe the government issued ID will be actually a tracker/payment/smartphone thingy.
