Europe's largest driving simulator (VALIDATE)

… will be ready for operation in 2010 at the University of Stuttgart. It features a motion system with 8 degrees of freedom and a detailed visual, acoustical, and haptic imaging of the driver environment. The simulator will be used for the development of intelligent driver assistance systems to reduce fuel consumption and hence CO2 emissions.
