The simulator , which was set up in the quad area, gave students a chance to find out what happens when texting plus driving goes awry.
In the simulator, which is essentially a video game with a chair, steering wheel and pedals, the “driver” navigates about eight city blocks while realistic texts appear on the smartphone accompanying the chair, creating an “eyes-off-the-road” and “hands-off-the-wheel” experience of texting while driving. A single experience can range from 30 seconds to four minutes, depending on how well the driver is able to maneuver around the obstacles while texting.
