Vanderbilt University has designed a virtual reality simulator to help teens who have autism learn how to drive.   It's specifically designed to teach people the basic rules of the road, and it also collects information about ways they react to situations.  It then can alter the scenarios with varying degrees of difficulty to provide people with the training they need.  Overall, trials of this program have had positive results, but more research needs to be done.
