Toyota‘s
ultimate goal is to eliminate all traffic deaths, and while that might
be a bit of a pipe dream at the moment, the company seems to think its
latest driving simulator
should help it in that noble cause. It’s supposedly the world’s “most
true-to-life” driving simulator in the world, and is meant to help
develop new safety features. Housed in a warehouse in Japan, the system
features a 360-degree screen and some quite impressive tilting
mechanism, allowing Toyota engineers to assess how drivers perform
under certain conditions while avoiding all that nasty mangled metal.
