Together, we came up with the perfect solution: An all-new, custom mobile app for iOS and Android, featuring a virtual reality simulation of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Autonomous_car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">autonomous driving<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our teams worked closely together to produce a truly one-of-a-kind experience, putting you in the driver&#8217;s seat, as your car drives itself! This is one that you\u2019ll definitely want to give a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, driverless cars are beyond just a concept. It seems like, every day, technology steps closer and closer to the realization of this incredible advancement in transportation.

Lucky for you, now all it takes is a quick app download!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wind River self-driving car virtual reality experience is compatible with nearly any VR headset, including <a href=\"https:\/\/gravityjack.com\/news\/google-cardboard-vr-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google\u2019s Cardboard,<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/madeby.google.com\/vr\/?utm_source=en-ha-na-sem-madeby&amp;utm_campaign=daydream&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_term=pid_139337270-cid_0-aid_311604398&amp;utm_content=bkws&amp;gclid=CNns4LPog9ECFZQ0aQodNPgLRQ&amp;dclid=CNXMkrTog9ECFZRIAQodZQQAjA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daydream<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/explore\/gear-vr\/?cid=ppc-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samsung Gear VR<\/a>&nbsp;and many others.
