At exit there is a QR code reader, and after scanning the QR code the gate opened and I was able to exit. No physical check of drivers license, credit card or any other ID, although obviously I had details of those already on file with my Preferred account.
Wow. Could be good. Could get bad.
I fear for the issues with IT + an automated gate. At IAD, ok. At DCA, you're stuck.
