HILLSBORO, Ore., January 9, 2019 – VR Motion Corp, Hillsboro, OR, has reached agreement with Tata Elxsi, Bangalore, India, that names Tata Elxsi as distributor and promoter of VR Motion’s exclusive VR driver training software throughout India. This agreement will continue to promote the VR revolution in fleet driver training, using the total immersion of Virtual Reality.
VR Motion has defined the Virtual Reality Driving Simulator with a new level of realism. This will allow Tata and other OEM manufacturers, dealers and other fleet users of all types to practice, learn, and operate multiple specific vehicles, particularly delivery vehicles and other high-risk driving environments. Using a multi-axis motion platform and the latest VR hardware, the unique VRMC software immerses both novice and more experienced drivers into specific locations, unique vehicles, distracted driving and accident avoidance. India has a traffic accident fatality rate that is over twice as high as the USA, and the Indian government is taking active measure to reduce accidents and fatalities.

Tata Elxsi has shown amazing leadership in helping to bring this cutting-edge technology to the drivers of India and we are thrilled to partner with them to support this worthy mission.”
