Description

The SimuRide Home Edition (HE) is driving simulator software for the home computer. It is meant for beginner drivers who are studying for their driver's license. The program builds good habits to rely on later in a real driving situation.

It was designed to help new drivers practice more in addition to practicing in a real vehicle. Driving the SimuRide HE does not require parental supervision or a learner's permit, does not use fuel and cannot be damaged in collisions. By practicing on a simulator, students can calmly pick up necessary skills. More practice makes everyone safer.

The program takes the student through a 3D virtual map that includes:

• A parking lot
• City intersections
• A highway
• A dark tunnel
• A foggy valley
• Icy patches and snow/rain
• A winding road with falling obstacles

There is no sequence and students are free to practice driving wherever they want.

It teaches students to use an automatic, passenger vehicle with or without a small trailer attached. The software is similar in design to the SimuRide Professional, but it is simplified and runs on a single home computer monitor.

By pressing buttons on the wheel or keyboard, users can turn to look to their left, right, monitor blind spots and directly behind their virtual vehicle for approaching traffic and obstacles.
