Covering the economic and industrial might of Japan

Toyota Motor Corp has introduced a new driving simulator.

The apparatus has:

1. 360 degree computer graphic imagery of roads and landscape,

2. complete with signs,

3. pedestrians,

4. street-side stores

5. faraway Mount Fuji — all synchronized.

They move when the simulated driving is shown.

The simular is used for testing safety features.

The simulator, a Lexus inside the 4.5 meter (15 foot) high, 7 meter (23 foot) diameter dome provides the sense of acceleration, vibration and sound of driving a regular car.

But can it predict the extreme stupidity of the average pedestrian?

I don't think so.

How will the car react if it sees a truck dragging a body behind it?

Any ideas?
