BATON ROUGE, La. -- (Business Wire)
Louisiana’s Amazon Alexa practice driving test service provided by
Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) was recently recognized by StateScoop and
given the State IT Innovation of the Year award which highlights the
best and brightest in the state IT community.
The Alexa skill allows citizens to take practice driving tests. The
service can be used by individuals applying for a driver’s license or
anyone looking to challenge their memory of Louisiana’s driving rules.
Available for download, the Amazon Alexa skill ‘Louisiana Driving Test’
can be used on any Alexa or Echo device. Once prompted, Alexa will
provide instructions to answer 10 multiple choice questions and keep
score as randomly selected questions from an extensive question bank are
read aloud.
“We wanted folks to enjoy the process of obtaining their driver’s
license,” said Commissioner Karen St. Germain. “It’s an honor to be
recognized and we are excited to be able to provide Louisiana drivers
this cutting-edge service.”
The award-winning service is one of many applications developed in a
partnership between Louisiana Interactive and the Office of Motor
Vehicles. Additional services provided by the OMV can be found on Expresslane.org.
