I was just reminded of this when a buddy&amp;#x27;s parked car was struck by a drunk driver who was not legally licensed to drive because their license was revoked from having &lt;i&gt;many&lt;/i&gt; prior DUI&amp;#x27;s. Luckily they didn&amp;#x27;t kill anyone.&lt;p&gt;Hopefully it will be easier to enforce shutting down unsafe driverless cars.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve also known teens without licenses who had to drive their irresponsible buddies&amp;#x27; cars home after the licensed driver drove somewhere and got drunk. It&amp;#x27;s not like there&amp;#x27;s a biometric scanner in each car that verifies the person behind the wheel is a licensed driver...</text><parent_chain><item><author>kadoban</author><text>That teenage driver goes through a training and certification process, and we have ways of stopping them from driving if they fuck up too badly.

You just need to pass a computer test (of mostly easily memorizable material) and a road test that consists mostly of turning left and right a few times. They don&amp;#x27;t even test highway driving, three point turns or parallel parking like they do in some other countries.&lt;p&gt;Also, didn&amp;#x27;t the entire Uber fleet get grounded after the Tempe death, with a huge months-long NHTSA investigation?</text><parent_chain><item><author>kadoban</author><text>That teenage driver goes through a training and certification process, and we have ways of stopping them from driving if they fuck up too badly.
