From voanews.com:

American soldiers in combat drive tanks and Humvees. But when members of the military return to the United States to recover from critical injuries, they need help re-learning how to drive regular cars. The nation’s army rehabilitation hospital, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, has a new tool to get veterans driving their own automobiles and their own destiny. VOA’s Carolyn Presutti shows it to us.

Christopher Levi is driving a classic American vehicle. A Chevrolet truck. The driver’s view is different from the real world. But then again, Christopher is a different driver from what he was eight months ago.

He is a double amputee. Christopher’s legs were shattered by a bomb while he was riding in a humvee near Baghdad’s Sadr City. This driving simulator now steers his way through rehabilitation, monitoring his heart rate through a clip on his ear. The goal is to transition from driving in combat to driving in cities.
