Safety starts with a headset and controllers in front of a computer screen at UPS. The company is using virtual reality to teach future drivers about potential dangers before they make their first delivery.Paulo Delgado has been with the company for 25 years and said he’s seen it all behind the wheel.
“The distractions that you see are disturbing,” Delgado said. “It can go from shaving, eating, watching tv.”
Now, Delgado trains new drivers how to stay alert on their route by focusing on their driving, just as much as what’s going on around them.
