SEOUL, Mar. 11 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Motor Co. announced on Sunday that it will run a ‘Driving Plus’ program, a social contribution activity to help people overcome their fear of driving., along with the Citizens’ Coalition for Safety.
According to Hyundai, the ‘Driving Plus’ program offers educational content that allows people to experience various traffic accidents such as sudden exits from vehicles, unauthorized crossing at bus stops, and cargo falling off a truck, via a virtual reality program.
Participants can also experience an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (ABS), Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS), and Lane Departing Warning System (LDWS).
Of note, the program can be sent directly to drivers, as Hyundai modified an existing 1 ton truck by installing a simulator. Those who wish to participate can register online at the Citizens’ Coalition for Safety website.
