Mission

Providing cost-effective, environmentally friendly and highly educational virtual driving lessons for everyone.

The challenge

In the past year, 300,000 people obtained driving licenses in The Netherlands, spending an average of €2,300 on lessons. Many people perceive this as expensive. Also, there is much improvement to be made in driving lessons. Both educationally, through training of specific scenarios, and environmentally, by reducing car usage.

The solution

We propose Virtual Reality (VR) driving lessons. By swapping out expensive instructors with virtual guides, and costly cars with affordable VR setups, we address the high cost of traditional lessons. Through implementing user-specific training, we aim to increase learning speed of students. Additionally, virtual driving lessons emit less greenhouse gasses.
