This is also a problem, yes.

 

I'm not suggesting gatekeeping, I am suggesting better training.  Unfortunately some people see this as gatekeeping.

One of my friends is a driving instructor and his company is highly rated because they teach driving and driving "ethics" (for lack of a better term) instead of what you need to pass the exam.  People sign on for additional lessons because they want them.

OTOH they also specialize in adult training, not just "my kid is 16 they need a drivers license now" drivers Ed.  

Looking at the quality of drivers on the road today, I'm good with a little gatekeeping. 

Like gatekeeping the idiots off the road. 

How about this? For your automaker to turn on autopilot, you have to take a super boring 8-hour class. If you stay awake, you get autopilot. If you fall asleep or pull out your phone, you fail. No autopilot for you.

Not necessarily due to being antisocial but because if you can't keep your payment system working so I can give you money, I don't want to do business with you.

I know someone who runs a couple of gas stations, he says the payment systems on the pumps are incredibly janky and unreliable. And of course, there's only so much he can do to fix one when it goes down.
