(AP) - Toyota Motor Corp. engineer Takashi Yonekawa shows his project team’s new driving simulator for testing safety features at its Higashifuji Technical Center in Susono, southwest of Tokyo, Monday, Nov. 26, 2007. A Lexus inside the 4.5 meter (15 foot) high, 7 meter (23 foot) diameter dome provides the sense of acceleration, vibration and sound of driving a regular car while the internal surrounding sides of the dome show 360 degree computer graphic imagery of roads and landscape, complete with signs, pedestrians, street-side stores and faraway Mount Fuji — all synchronized to move with the simulated driving.
