The online theoretical exam for obtaining the first National Driver's License (CNH) in Goiás is set to launch on Wednesday, November 11, as announced by the State Department of Traffic of Goiás (Detran). This new modality offers candidates the convenience of taking the test from home, utilizing remote monitoring and artificial intelligence to ensure integrity during the examination process. The decision reflects a shift towards adapting to modern educational methods and recognizing the challenges posed by geographic distance to traditional testing locations.

The Detran's initiative aims to enhance access to the examination for individuals in remote municipalities, where the limitations of in-person surveillance pose challenges to obtaining a driver's license. In a press conference held on Monday, the agency indicated that previous testing phases, conducted last year, yielded positive results, particularly noting a dramatic decrease in the failure rate—from 40% to less than 10%. This significant reduction highlights the initiative's potential to improve outcomes and make driving more accessible for residents across Goiás.

As artificial intelligence plays a key role in the online examination's monitoring process, it complements human oversight, ensuring a robust system that safeguards test integrity while accommodating candidates. The introduction of this online testing format marks a progressive step in the modernization of the licensing process in Brazil, attempting to balance technological advancements with the imperative of road safety and regulatory compliance.
