    Any road warrior will tell you — it's a jungle out there! The congested highways of our lives make it all the more critical to feel confident when you get behind the wheel and head toward the traffic. While many 16-year-olds are excited by the prospect of driving and the freedom it affords, getting your driver's permit and license can also be daunting — for both teens and parents. Such was Sara Beniwal's reality when her 16th birthday came around in January 2020. She and a group of entrepreneurially minded friends soon bonded over their driver's license angst and turned to innovation, building VirtuRoad, a virtual reality driving simulator designed for nervous new drivers to practice driving in real-life scenarios.The Wharton Global Youth Program recently caught up with Sara, a high school senior in California who also studied in our online Business Leadership Academy this summer, to talk about her VirtuRoad business journey.
