Users will be asked questions while the video is going on. The 360 video will pause when the app wants the user to complete a task. For example, to continue the 360 video, users will be required to look left, right, and left while they are at a stop sign, shoulder check while merging onto a highway or changing lanes, and look at mirrors when performing actions. Users will also be able to take a 360 tour of the inside of a car to get familiar with it.

It is understandable that some people might be scared to get started with learning how to drive. The transition from reading manuals and rule books to actually driving the car might be uneasy for beginners. Aiming to alleviate the fear some might have, the app targets teenagers at the age of learning how to drive as well as people having anxious feelings while driving.
