Maybe it should be more stressful. VR can deliver this, preferably with real driving controls and full physical motion like a professional flight simulator.<p>VR would let people practice with kids running out in front of the vehicle, with moose on the road, with spins on ice, with downed power lines, with floodwaters, with a blown front tire at highway speed, with the car in front swerving to reveal a sofa on the road, with windows suddenly fogging up, and so many other troubles that are hard to safely practice in the normal way. VR would let us train people to avoid rolling a vehicle off the road in a panic when an animal crosses the highway. VR would let learners drive for 6 hours of monotonous highway in the dark, proving that they can do it without becoming too drowsy to operate the vehicle.
