Birmingham — AT&T will be at the Magic City Classic this weekend promoting their “It Can Wait” campaign

Here is an important campaign.

AT&T is bringing its virtual reality “It can wait” driving simulator to Magic City festivities this week.

The simulator, which will be at two events leading up to the game, provides an opportunity for attendees to experience firsthand how dangerous it is to take their eyes off the road to glance at a phone.

Below is a video from AT&T about the “It can wait” driving simulator.

The simulator visit is part of a competition between the Alabama A&M University Bulldogs and Alabama State University Hornets to see which school can secure the most “no texting while driving” pledges. The winner will be announced during the game and will receive $2000 for their band program. The runner-up receives $500.
