It's no longer kosher for carmakers to run simulations on computers that can fit on desks, because that's for chumps. If you don't have gear <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/26/ford-usesgame-and-movie-style-motion-capture-software-to-aid-veh/">fit for a Hollywood blockbuster</a> or a trip to Mars, well, you're not really serious about this whole car thing, are you?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/lexus">Lexus</a> has joined the latter camp with its new driving simulator, built to simulate crash avoidance. Inside the metal bulb is a Lexus <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/ls460">LS460</a>, surrounded by a 360-degree facsimile of a real driving environment. It's their next big thing, so they say. Us? We just want to reserve it when <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/15/gran-turismo-5-will-officially-launch-november-2-2010-in-3d/">Gran Turismo 5 finally comes out</a>. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/13/video-lexus-shows-off-worlds-coolest-driving-simulator-in-new/#continued">Follow the jump</a> to watch the spot.<br />
