# In-Depth Driving Simulators The Lexus LS 460 Simulator Ensures Driver Safety By Michael Hines | Published 2010-10-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-ls-460-simulator References: [fastcompany](http://www.fastcompany.com/1694265/lexus-shows-off-worlds-most-advanced-driving-simulator) & [lexus](http://www.lexus.ca/) I bet all cars would be a lot safer to drive if every company tested them using simulators like the [Lexus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gx-460) LS 460 Simulator. This simulator has a Lexus LS 460 mounted inside and provides a truly life-like driving experience. The Lexus LS 460 Simulator is used to simulate driving driving performance in real-world conditions. The simulator features a 3D environment and can reportedly simulate speeds up to 186 mph. Check out the video above to see the simulator in action. I'm confident to say that I'll feel a lot safer the next time I step into a Lexus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Virtual Driving Simulators:** The use of virtual driving simulators for testing car performance in real-world conditions presents an opportunity for car manufacturers to improve driving safety. - **3D Simulation Technology:** 3D environment simulation technology integrated into driving simulators provides an opportunity for car manufacturers to virtually test car performance in a safe and controlled environment. - **Life-like Driving Experience:** Developing driving simulators that can provide life-like driving experiences allows car manufacturers to improve car safety by testing and improving on real-world scenarios. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Automotive manufacturers can employ virtual driving simulators for testing and improving the safety of their cars before they are released in the market. - **Automotive Insurance:** Automotive insurance companies can leverage virtual driving simulators to assess and evaluate driver performance and evaluate car safety risks. - **Automotive Research and Development:** Automotive researchers and developers can use virtual driving simulators to test and improve automotive safety features and driver experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric All-Wheel-Drive SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-rz-450e.md) - [Contemporary Racing Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drivepod.md) - [Customized Finishings Off-Road SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-lx-600-offroad-suv.md) - [Immersive Driving Simulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driving-simulations.md) - [Sculpted Connected Racer Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prodrive-x-callum-racing-simulator.md) - [Luxury Long-Range Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-lfzc.md) - [Opulent Car-Exploration Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-meraki-on-wheels.md) - [Waterproofed Hybrid SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-lx-700h.md) - [Full-Scale Racing Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyn-x.md)
