NEXT-LEVEL EXPERIMENTATION
VR SAFETY TESTING
Taking our testing to the next level, we use virtual reality to create an immersive experience that simulates driving conditions and driver reactions. Crafting tests that are impossible in the real world, we gather feedback to improve and develop an array of safety features and technology.
Taking place inside a smart dome, a Lexus LS is surrounded by wrap-around screens displaying realistic projected images of city and highway driving. Cylinders move to simulate turning, climbing, acceleration and deceleration, accompanied by audio recordings of engine noise, vibration and wind.
