Just Drive Simulator
Imagine a world where every driver is fully engaged and focused on the road, and where families don’t have to endure the heartbreak of losing loved ones to distracted driving crashes.
Why the Just Drive Simulator?
Distracted driving is a growing epidemic, claiming thousands of lives each year and shattering countless families and communities. Whether it’s texting behind the wheel, adjusting the radio, or simply daydreaming, the consequences can be devastating. We believe education and awareness are powerful tools in preventing these tragedies; and it’s our collective responsibility to confront the dangers of distracted driving, ensuring safer roads and brighter futures.
That’s why The Kiefer Foundation has launched an ambitious project to develop a distracted driving simulator providing an immersive, hands-on experience that educates drivers of all ages about the dangers of distractions on the road. Through realistic scenarios and interactive feedback, participants will learn firsthand how quickly a moment of inattention can turn into a life-altering event.
It’s time to pay attention—for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for all those who never made it home. But we can’t do it alone. We need your support to bring this life-saving initiative to reality.
Program Start-up & Vision
The Just Drive Simulator, implemented on the Meta Quest 3 Virtual Reality headset, provides an immersive, hands-on experience that educates drivers of all ages about the dangers of distracted driving in a safe and controlled environment with the mission to change behaviors, make roads safer and save lives. Deploying the simulators in four pilot schools with young drivers testing and experiencing the technology enabled our team to gather valuable feedback that will further enhance the software and overall engagement.
The highly engaging program simulates different levels of distraction that impact a driver’s awareness and performance behind the wheel in a safe, virtual environment.
Distracted driving is a growing epidemic, and as technology advances, the risk behind the wheel continues to grow. Getting the Just Drive Simulator into organizations and schools and reaching both experienced and young drivers is a major step towards making the roads a safer place for us all. We appreciate the leadership position taken by our Just Drive Founding Sponsors and the four pilot schools. With their support and participation, we’re going to create an even more engaging and realistic simulation experience with the goal of deploying nationwide.
