The simulator demonstrates the dangers of distracted driving and is part of  AT&T’s “It Can Wait” Virtual Reality Egg Bowl. Through Nov. 11, 鶹AV is competing against the University of Mississippi to get the most fans to take a pledge against distracted driving by texting “ICW鶹AV” to 50555. The school with the most people taking the pledge will be named winner of the “It Can Wait” Virtual Reality Egg Bowl.
