FirstDrive.io is a free browser-based simulator for California learners. Drive three short, fictional San Francisco-inspired lessons and practice signs, turns, lane changes, traffic checks, and freeway decisions. Get feedback as you go and review your drive at the end. Start without an account. Independent practice, not an official DMV test or a substitute for driving lessons.

Partial A browser 3D or pseudo-3D scene can be built with Three.js, but crafting a realistic vehicle driving simulator with physics, AI traffic, sign logic, and driving feedback requires specialized game development expertise.
What it would actually take: The app needs a 3D web game engine like Three.js/Babylon.js paired with a physics engine like Rapier or Ammo.js. The primary challenge is programming deterministic driving physics, believable waypoint-based traffic AI, and California DMV rule evaluation triggers (blind-spot checks, smooth stopping distances). It requires game design, 3D asset optimization, and state machine engineering skills.
