DRIVING TEST OBSOLETE BY 2040

Self driving cars could make the driving test redundant in the next decades.
Traditional car sales may also have disappeared by then.
A panel of automotive industry experts and car manufacturers estimate the current driving may no longer be required by 2043, because the rise in more sophisticated vehicles and the adoption of autonomous car technology will replace conventional vehicles.

The driving test will have to evolve to factor in these advanced technologies, so that new drivers are comfortable with using systems that can manage some elements of driving a car.
Today, more and more people are signing up for subscription services than paying to own their vehicle. Car ownership is changing as speculated.

The self drive car will change our lives. ‘Passengers’ will be able to work online, play games, perhaps even sleep while travelling, so the need for road awareness, directions and understanding road signs and signals will become redundant.”

Recent revisions to the driving test, saw a modest step toward embracing technology in cars, after it was ruled learner drivers would have to show they could follow directions from a sat nav.
