Toyota reveals super-realistic driving simulator

Filed under: ,

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.
