BMW has developed the Dynamic Driving Simulator, an enhanced driving simulation system to allow them to test their cars at it’s development center in Munich without actually bringing the prototype out on the road or track. The fact that it is a virtual simulation allows tests to be conducted under the exact the same conditions repeatedly, eliminating major variables in the testing and design process and giving the engineers better results. After the jump you will find two videos, one with a BMW 5-series going through a driving simulation, and the other an interview with Dr. Alexander Huesmann, BMW’s Project Manager for Driving Simulation. You can have a look at how the driving simulator looks like from the outside.

very good…but izit accurate???
note that it's not a replacement for real on road tests
like playing microsoft flight simulator, wish they'll publish a malaysian driving simulator maps
not realistic. Where is the wind, the car is not moving/bumping at all, its just like its pinned there
if you listen to the interview in the 2nd video, he says there are vibrations to simulate the bumps on the road.
lol… If I have a chance to get my hands on this dynamic driving simulator I would like to try run over the digital human beings and see how it feels ngeheheheheh… since we can't do it in the reality… we only live once you know.
they are using SAAB dont they? why not a Beemer?
what Saab?
Well, the presentation of tat guy is boring.. hohoho…. half more hours of his speech n I'll sleep… haha… anyway, this driving simulator is a breakthrough. Good work.
Geez…
I wonder whut would happen to the car if that test driver were to bang it into other cars or buildings?? Maybe even pedestrians. heheeee….
too much gta…
=P
owh ok .
nx time test drive using dis thing d .
hhhmmm…this simulator will help a bit i think…
