Driving simulator for driver's license testing
Objective applicant evaluation with telemetry and biometric sign-in, across risk situations the street can't recreate.

The APEX driving simulator lets mobility ministries and municipalities administer the practical driver's license exam with objective criteria: every maneuver the applicant makes is measured by telemetry.
Unlike a road test, the simulator evaluates every applicant with the same scenarios — including risk situations impossible to recreate with a real vehicle — and biometric fingerprint sign-in guarantees the result belongs to the person who took the exam.
Guanajuato runs the largest program in the country, with more than 300,000 exams administered; we also work with the state Ministry of Mobility of Jalisco, Nayarit, and San Pedro Garza García.

Frequently asked questions
What governments ask us
The questions we hear most from mobility ministries, municipalities, and driving schools.
How does the driver's license exam work in a driving simulator?
The applicant signs in with their fingerprint, drives a real car cab through standardized scenarios — including risk situations — and telemetry measures every maneuver: braking, speed, mirror and turn-signal use, lane position, and safety errors. When the session ends, the system issues an objective result the authority can review on its platform.
Which Mexican states administer the driving exam with a simulator?
More and more states are replacing the road test with simulator-based evaluation; most of the country still doesn't administer a practical exam, and that's where the biggest road-safety opportunity lies. In driver's license testing: the Government of the State of Guanajuato — the largest program in the country, with more than 300,000 exams administered —, the state Ministry of Mobility of Jalisco, Nayarit, and San Pedro Garza García. In public transit: Mexico City's RTP passenger bus network — which acquired the country's first electric bus simulator — and state training programs in Jalisco, Sonora, San Luis Potosí, and Campeche. In public safety and defense: Jalisco's Ministry of Public Security, the Nuevo León Attorney General's Office, and the municipalities of Puebla, Querétaro, Guadalajara, Escobedo, and San Pedro Garza García. In transportation and logistics: Coca-Cola FEMSA, PepsiCo, Grupo Bimbo, Barcel, Bachoco, Arca Continental, Grupo Modelo, Danone, Alpura, Grupo Lala, Bepensa, Estafeta, Coppel, Liverpool, Soriana, OXXO, and PEMEX, along with federal motor carriers Tres Guerras, Fletes México, HG Transportaciones, and TUM.
Why evaluate in a simulator instead of only on the street?
Because the simulator evaluates everyone with the same criteria and can put the applicant in risk situations — a pedestrian crossing, an emergency stop, rain — that would be dangerous or impossible to recreate in a road test. It also removes discretion: the result is determined by telemetry, and biometrics guarantee there's no impersonation.
How many exams per day can one simulator administer?
It depends on the exam length the authority defines. As a real-world reference: Guanajuato's units have logged more than 300,000 exams and 75,000 hours over a decade of continuous operation. In the proposal, we size how many units your licensing office needs based on its transaction volume.
What does a government need to implement it?
Space at the licensing office, electrical power, and an internet connection for the results platform. APEX delivers the equipment, installs it, trains the staff, and maintains it under an annual on-site support plan. Request a quote and we'll build the proposal around your office's transaction volume.
