The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) and AT&T collaborated to develop the “Texting and Driving:  It Can Wait” simulator to demonstrate the dangers of texting behind the wheel in a safe, interactive, and fun way.

 

The simulator is free and syncs the operator’s smartphone with the simulator that is downloaded to a laptop, tablet or desktop computer.

 

Following the simulation, the operator is invited to take a no-texting-and-driving pledge, and the simulator results can be posted to Facebook and Twitter.
