And the test needs to be way, way harder than it is now. In my state you just drive around the block and then parallel park. No highway driving requirement, no emergency maneuvers, no reaction time test.
The USA should adopt a similar driving license program to Germany and the EU.
VR/AR test to test dangerous and difficult scenarios like what we expect level 5 autonomous vehicles be able to handle.
Dangerous weather, emergency conditions, evasive driving/emergency maneuvers, car failures, etc.
Automated test in test booths, much faster throughout, far less lines than waiting on a single tester to waddle their way from one car to the next.
Not entirely unlike how airline pilots are trained and tested in simulators
Driving is a privilege, not a right and the test needs to reflect that.
