this captcha business is adversarial. I would refuse to drive a vehicle that treats me as a criminal by default (same reason I avoid airports).

Having a different class of license effect the cars performance is interesting tho. I guess you'd want to rely on biometrics so that high-skilled-drivers don't become a target to steal their license. Probably need a way to revoke licenses, which means the car will need to stay online at all times. Brings to mind those rental cars that won't unlock if they're in an underground garage or out in the woods.

IMO it's all too much complexity to rely on, a car should be a machine that goes when you hit the gas. If you want to save lives, more public transport and slower speeds + roundabouts is the answer.
