As the purveyor of ultimate dad games SCS Software explains on its blog, Euro Truck Simulator 2 isn't just a fun exploration of the contrast between chill highway cruising and nightmarish reverse-parking situations. It's also science.
A researcher at Liberec Technical University's Faculty of Textiles in Czechia called Mr Martinka has been using Euro Truck Simulator 2 to simulate driving while fatigued without endangering anyone. "ETS2 was the simplest and the most practical solution because it mirrors real driving conditions. The game allowed us to simulate fatigue safely. We needed a reliable platform to simulate long hours of driving, and the game provided exactly that," Martinka said.
