She knows she SHOULDN’T be multi-tasking while driving, but doesn’t see the harm in shooting a quick text or checking her email to make the drive more engaging. How do we get Brenda to drive safely?

  3. D.I.V.E: Driving In Virtual Environments Beach Theme Original Jungle Theme D.I.V.E is an interface that allows Brenda to completely customize her driving environment. It uses a heads-up display and intuitive traffic interpretation via fun themes that Brenda can enjoy. The result is to effectively engage Brendaand make her a safer driver.
