Toyota builds the ultimate driving sim in the name of safety - AutoBlogStar.com
I felt it was necessary to post this in light of the upcoming holidays and the fact that, at least in my opinion, holiday drivers seem to be the worst. Everyone seems to be in a big hurry and out to kill. Don’t be one of those people. If you feel compelled or even moved to be a better driver, take a look at this simulator and maybe book some time in it to become a better holiday driver.

Toyota has built a 15-foot-high, 23-foot-wide, 78-ton driving simulator “for effectively analyzing the driving characteristics of average drivers.”The simulator allows Toyota to work on specific driving issues in a controlled environment, and to study mental aspects of driving such as decision making, which are among the most important considerations when trying to develop the next wave of gotta-have-it safety features.
