New Virtual Reality App Simulates Dangers of Distracted Driving


Texting and driving is extremely dangerous, not to mention illegal in many places. But these days, drivers are going way beyond texting – with selfies, snaps and even video chats behind the wheel.

Now, a new app from the folks behind the popular It Can Wait campaign is getting a virtual reality refresh. It lets you experience just how dangerous distracted driving can be – and the end isn’t pretty.

The app works on any smartphone or you can upgrade the experience by using Google Cardboard or Samsung’s Gear VR headset.

Get the It Can Wait VR app from the App Store or Google Play.

And please, don’t text – or fumble with your phone in any way – while driving.
