Drive Safely: Toyota’s New Driving Simulator Looks Like Fairground Attraction
“The movement on the dome is incredible thanks to its tilting and vibration devices: slam on the brakes and the dome moves forward; slew the steering wheel to the left and the dome lurches sideways. There’s a range of 115 feet for forward and backward movement, and 65 feet if the dome is moving sideways. Computer graphics are projected onto the walls of the dome giving you the real-deal view if the car were driving along a road in Japan. You even get to hear proper sound effects if you pop a handbrake turn at 100 mph.”
