My friend moved from Europe to the USA and took a driver's test in California (been driving in Europe since the 1980s).
He tracked the test, he drove a whopping 2 miles (forwards) plus had to reverse about 30 feet.
Commented to me afterwards that "signing the form was the hardest bit" and that "a blind person could probably pass it with the help of a guide dog".
Passing a driving test isn't a proxy for anyone and anything being a good driver anywhere, but it's a good enough proxy for a human being a reasonable driver in the location where they take the test, which is what society has determined acceptible. Acceptible, for a human!
I'm not sure it's useful for us to repeatedly attempting to measure AI's capabilities the same way we measure humans. Turing tests are all very well, but there are only so many fire hydrants I want to have to click on before I'm allowed to log into my hotel chain's loyalty scheme (Hilton, looking at you...)
