Google had this to say about it:
"In some states, fully autonomous vehicles don't require a driver's license if they don't require human intervention. For example, in New Hampshire, a licensed driver is only required for testing."

That in itself doesn't seem fair, but to make things even more unfair, we're forced to drive among these death machines.

Maybe it's something that could work safely for trains.
