Driving Simulator, Cont'd

[Mpotheau@xxxxxxx]

Last night on CNN they had a segment dealing with a unique driving simulator.
This is one to detect "comfort" levels in an automobile. This will shave a lot
of time from development on new cars because a prototype is not needed to
conduct the standard tests for comfort. I.e. vibration, feel, noise,
reflections, blind spots and so on. This gyz is produced by Johnson Controls,
Pontiac Mi according to CNN. Johnson Controls (www.johnsoncontrols.com) has
spent 2million developing the simulator. Multi screen displays with 210 degree
vision etc. Now, if we can persuade them to make one for an M3 or suggest that
BMW spend $2million, we have our Ultimate Drivers School Machine.

Curiously, Johnson doesn't have this on their website yet, www.cnn.com
probably has it buried somewhere in their website for those with the patience
to find it on their poorly organized web site. (Ben, Rob, anyone, help them
with an index or search within their site)
