I wish we had a system of simulators people could be put into to assess their driving ability before criminally charging them.

While it won’t capture everything related to driving, it’s gotta be better than existing sobriety tests. And I say that as a terrible video game player but good driver (or so I believe), with a relative that’s a great video game player but meh driver.

Dunno how well correlated a field sobriety test is, but the subjective element of it leaves a lot to be desired.

That it would cause an uproar when "safe drivers" who are really just "safe to insure" because they follow the letter of the law fail miserably in droves because they have the context processing ability of a 2017 "driverless" car.
