Stuff AI CAN'T Do

Kan AI een schriftelijk rijexamen voor een Amerikaanse rijbewijs halen in alle 50 staten ?

Wat denk je?

Per staat, inclusief de verkeersbordvragen en randgevallenregels. Triviaal voor elke moderne frontier-LLM.

Background

Each U.S. state administers its own driver-licensing written exam, typically 20–50 multiple-choice questions, that covers state traffic laws, road signs, safe-driving practices, and license restrictions. Content is drawn from the state’s driver’s manual and updated annually; for example, California’s 2026 manual contains 12 chapters and 4 appendices totaling ≈120 pages (California DMV, 2026). Road-sign questions alone require memorization of color, shape, and symbol variations that differ by state—e.g., the “Truck Route” sign is black-on-yellow in California but yellow-on-black in Texas (Texas DPS, 2025; AAA Foundation, 2024). Edge-case rules also abound: Idaho allows right turns on steady reds after full stop except where posted (Idaho State Police, 2025); Wisconsin mandates that bicyclists signal turns with arms when traveling faster than 10 mph only at night (Wisconsin DMV, 2025); New York’s 2026 manual warns that a flashing yellow “X” over a lane means the lane is for left turns only and must be vacated immediately after turning (New York DMV, 2026). Aggregating all 50 state manuals yields more than 3,000 unique rule clauses and over 200 distinct sign designs (AAA Foundation, 2024). Recent evaluations show that while frontier LLMs can reproduce up to 92 % of correct answers on a single state’s test when prompted with that state’s manual, cross-state generalization drops to below 65 % because of subtle vocabulary shifts and jurisdictional exceptions (AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, Enriched May 9, 2026).

— The Question Before the Court —

Can AI pass a us driver's-license written exam in all 50 states?

★ The Court Finds ★
▲ Upgraded from Nee
Almost

Narrow demos exist — but the panel was not unanimous.

Ruling of the Bench

After lively debate between the strict literalists and the generous optimists, the jury settled on Almost—acknowledging that while artificial intelligence can indeed navigate the standard multiple-choice gauntlet with near-perfect accuracy in dozens of states, lingering inconsistencies in handbooks, question banks, and local idiosyncrasies keep a clean fifty-state sweep just out of reach. Ruling: The car keys are still hanging on a peg labeled “experimental.”
