I wish there were realistic car-driving simulators.
Arcade games don’t handle like a car and they don’t require 360 spatial awareness like a car. If you could walk into a mall, swipe your card, and rent time in a realistic driving sim, then:
* 14-year-olds could practice before they got their learner permits.
* People moving north could practice driving on black ice and performing the right maneuvers.
* Self-driving car companies could gather anonymized data about how real drivers act.
* Insurance companies could offer discounts to people who could pass a cheaply-administered test every 5 years.
* Immersive games could be written based on trying to rapidly deliver taxi passengers around a city, or trying to escape police in a stolen auto.
* People of all ages could regularly test their driving reflexes.
* People with anxiety could practice various scenarios in a low-stakes environment.

I passed long before this was introduced so know little of how involving it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_Perception_Test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_Perception_Test
