Making its presence in the simulator kingdom is the most advanced driving simulator by Lexus made to train drivers against avoiding accidents. Comprising a 15-foot high and 20-foot wide domed pod, the Lexus LS 460 simulator is placed at the Toyota research center in Higashifuji, Japan. Surrounded by an interactive 360-degree high-def audio-visual simulation for recreation of the realistic driving environment, the simulator mounted on a turntable lets drivers experience various sketchy driving scenarios.

The three-axis six-strut hexapod mounting system stimulates speeds of up to 186mph and turn signals up to 360 degree.
