Simulator

Thanks to advances in computing today, we can create driving simulators at a price accessible to driving schools.

In the past simulators were reserved for very technical and expensive activities (aeronautics) but they are now available for the  education of the general public at an affordable price due to the progress in available computing power.
The car simulator is a learning tool, developed from a car driving station. The driving position as well as the layout of controls is almost identical to that of a real car.

The educational means (real driving station, educational content, and virtual space of a road network with traffic), positions the learner in a reassuring environment.
The acquisition of pre-requisite driving skills takes place without stress. This helps the learning of procedures for turning on and driving the car.

Apprehension of the outside environment is minimised, enabling the learner to pay particular attention to the different driving operations and more specifically the gaining  of certain reflexes.

These different functions, interfaced with the driving simulator, make learning to drive a car easier.
Due to this, moving onto a “real vehicle and real traffic” context will take place without apprehension and with skills already attained.
