It is a new solution to an old frustration.
When it's time to renew your driver license, you'll now be able to skip the line at the driver service Center.
Renewing your driver license almost always involves a lengthy line.
At the AAA office in Cool Springs, you'll find one of 30 new self-service driver license kiosks.
The kiosks can be used to renew or replace an existing license or state ID card.
They're designed to be quick and easy to use.
The computer will guide you through a few simple steps, and take your picture.
The photo is matched to the state database using facial recognition.
The kiosks provide a temporary print out. The new license will be mailed in few days.
The state has installed the kiosks across the state, including several county clerk's offices.
So while the lines may be long at the driver service center, at the Cool Springs AAA, the kiosk is ready for its next customer.
The new kiosks cost the state about $45,000 dollars each.

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (AP) -- With Afghan troops increasingly leading combat operations on the ground, the Afghan Air Force's fledgling helicopter fleet based in Kabul has learned new techniques to support them from the air.
The U.S. Army's 101st Combat Aviation Brigade started a new training program at Bagram Air Field for Afghan helicopter pilots to learn how to perform air assault missions, which they have started to use in combat operations.
101st Combat Aviation Brigade Commander Col. Paul Bontrager said the Afghans need to be weaned off American aviation during the drawdown of U.S. forces this year.
The ability of Afghan helicopters to quickly drop soldiers into combat is a new and critical role.
