Take driver test on a touch screen?

The Idaho Transportation Department has finished installing automated touch-screen driver license testing systems in every county, and now they’re operational. The idea is that people can take their tests quickly, scoring and record-keeping are automated, and there’s less opportunity for cheating or distribution of the tests. “That provides a safety benefit because there is a greater likelihood that only qualified drivers will be issued drivers licenses,” ITD said in a press release today. Funded by a federal grant, the new system is only for the written test (the “knowledge test”) – no driving simulators here.

Question: What should they really test for on the driving test?
