A driving simulator is a device or setup that simulates the sensation of driving a car in a digital environment. It displays a simulated view from the driver's seat and allows users to handle the simulated car with actual input devices such as steering wheels and pedals. The aims of using a driving simulator can include assessment, research, training, and entertainment.
Driving simulations are critical in the early stages of autonomous vehicle development when physical prototypes are unavailable. They allow researchers and engineers to experiment with various sensor combinations, control algorithms, and software components in a safe and virtual environment. Moreover, Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators have evolved to help fill this void between off-line simulations and real-world assessments. By allowing a real person to “close the loop” and thus be directly involved in what would otherwise be an off-line vehicle simulation, a DIL simulator is effectively a way to create a direct connection between a human being and a simulated vehicle experience.
Furthermore, advanced DIL based simulator is developed by tech companies to fulfil the demand of automotive companies. For instance, in UK-based Ansible Motion introduced its production Delta series S3 DIL simulator, which is advanced and high-performance dynamic driving simulator. This innovative simulator meets the increasing need for high-fidelity, human-centric vehicle simulations in road and motorsport scenarios. Honda R&D, BMW and Deakin University in Australia. Therefore, versatile and advanced DIL simulators meet various industry needs and attract interest from automotive companies. This provides opportunity for driving simulator providers during forecast period.
Moreover, driving school utilized the AI for monitoring the driver during ride. For instance, in November 2021, new artificial intelligence-based driving hub launched in Dubai to enhance driver skills and reduce accident risks. This private driving institute will utilize AI technology to evaluate and improve performance of drivers.
In addition, the car simulation systems are expected to be installed in the near future to test the driver and to recognize the untrained drives. For instance, in December 2022, Delhi’s transport commissioner stated that the installation of the driving simulator at the regional transport office (RTO) will be the next big technological push and soon people will be able to give their driving test in the driving simulators. Similarly in Singapore, from 2019 it is mandatory for learners to attend and clear the driver simulator training before appearing in the practical driving and riding test. These developments indicate the upcoming demand for the driving simulator and shows its upscale growth in the market.
Furthermore, driving simulators provide a controlled environment in which new vehicle features, systems, and technologies can be tested and refined before being implemented on public roads. Furthermore, Europe is an important center for automotive research and development. Driving simulators are essential for testing and evaluating new technologies such as autonomous automobiles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and electric vehicles.
Moreover, major automotive simulation providers have launched new products to expand the market presence. For instance, in June 2022, Hottinger Brel & Kjær (HBK) through its subsidiary VI-grade launched software products for real-time simulation and driving simulators. It includes product updates and several usability enhancements for VI-CarRealTime, VI-WorldSim, VI-DriveSim and for the whole NVH Simulator product suite.

Executive Summary
The Driving Simulator Market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 7.4% from 2023 to 2032 owing to rise in demand of testing and development of autonomous vehicleA driving simulator is a device designed to mimic the feeling of driving a car on a road. Physical controls like as steering wheels and pedals are frequently used to drive the simulated vehicle while a screen displays a visual depiction of the surrounding region. More advanced simulators may include movable cabin components, haptic feedback for realistic feelings, and extensive physics-based simulations. The global driving simulator market is majorly driven by increased demand for autonomous vehicle testing and development. Furthermore, before autonomous vehicles may be deployed on public roads, they must undergo thorough testing and validation. Driving simulators provide a regulated and precise environment in which to test the performance of self-driving systems. In order to make sure that the autonomous car operates effectively and safely, these simulators may replicate a broad variety of real-world scenarios, including potentially harmful ones.
The advanced driving simulator assists researchers in studying numerous areas of automotive technology such as driver behavior, vehicle behavior, and vehicle performance on diverse terrains. It is also used to investigate driver interactions with advanced driving assistance technologies and autonomous vehicles. For instance, AB Dynamics provides an advanced driving simulator with a high-performance motion platform and high-spec visual and audio hardware. The advanced driving simulator assists car makers to build performance vehicles of various types that can run on and off roadways. Such devices provide high-quality performance to automakers as well as the opportunity for advanced driving simulators in the driving simulator market. Furthermore, the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies enhances the effectiveness and immersion of driving simulators. Users of VR and AR technologies have a very immersive experience, which gives them the impression that they are driving in a real world. Learners can get a 360-degree view of virtual driving scenarios with lifelike sights and audio by wearing VR headsets or using AR overlays. Because learners may experience real-world driving scenarios more accurately, this enhanced sense of immersion improves the effectiveness of driver training.
Furthermore, companies employ old automobiles as driving simulators using AR and VR. For instance, in July 2022, Viennese firm Nekonata XR Technologies (NXRT) produced 'XQ Avatar' mixed reality simulators that may turn any vehicle into an immersive driving simulator. Users may enjoy an immersive driving experience by combining virtual reality with the real world. The device is adaptable and may be used in any vehicle, making virtual test drives in car showrooms possible. As a result, VR and AR technologies make driving simulators more immersive and effective by duplicating realistic driving scenarios and providing virtual test drives in car dealerships, presenting a profitable opportunity in the driving simulator market.
Driving simulations are essential in the early stages of autonomous vehicle development when physical prototypes are not available. They enable researchers and engineers to experiment in a safe and virtual environment with diverse sensor combinations, control algorithms, and software components. Furthermore, traditional driver training incurs fuel costs as well as vehicle wear and tear, which contributes to additional operating costs for training centers. Driving simulators, on the other hand, run on electricity and require little upkeep. As a result, training centers' operating costs are reduced, enhancing the cost-saving benefits of these advanced training methods.
Driving simulator has applications that go beyond driver education. It plays an important role in the automobile industry, particularly in autonomous vehicle performance testing and system reviews. Driving simulators are a cost-effective option for testing and certifying the effectiveness of autonomous driving systems as the automotive industry develops autonomous vehicles. This low-cost testing strategy can result in significant savings in the whole development process, allowing autonomous vehicles to be deployed sooner. The global driving simulator market is segmented into simulator type, application, vehicle type, and region. Depending on application, it is fragmented into training, research & testing, and entertainment. By vehicle type, it is categorized into car simulators and truck & bus simulators. On the basis of simulator type, the market is segregated into training simulator and advanced driving simulator. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
