Human driving tests are hilariously easy. I bet it would pass with flying colors.

Driving in downtown Oakland was incredibly complex with all sorts of unusual features, driving the course the car did in the video would have stressed me out a little, and I've been driving for 24 years. Full self driving does need to handle those situations to be trustworthy, but for highway driving and sedate suburban settings it's probably just fine.

Human driving tests in USA are hilariously easy. In Israel you must take 8 or 12h of theory, after this written exam, followed by 30h of driving lessons. At this point if teacher thinks that you not gonna kill anyone, will make you internal driving test in driving school. If you pass, he will submit you to state driving test (you can't sign up by yourself).

Driving test takes 40min, through city (including all possible variations of parking) and highway on unpredictable route. I think less than half manage to pass it on first attempt.

If you passed, you get "new driving license" with a bunch of limitations (no passengers, supervision of experienced driver for 1 year, etc). If you get a violation of anything, license is taken and back to driving test.

After few years there is mandatory refresh course of (advanced) theory with exam. If you fail exam, back to driving school you go.

Edit: add into the mix, crazy, Mediterranean style driving on streets where exam takes place

The test must not screen people well enough if there are that many "crazy, Mediterranean style drivers" on the streets who already passed.

they become crazy past test. environmental pressure and evolutionary selection :)

but, from my vague memories, when you sign up to theory lessons you need to bring note from doctor that you are healthy and have no history of mental disorders (serious stuff) and such

In the USA, yes they are.

In europe, they are far more strict.

Driving tests are indeed way too easy, however, the level of driving seen in these Tesla videos would get any human driver a fail on the test. Just the constant indecisive jerking of the wheel would be a fail, let alone all the near crashes.
