Cover Story: Training of drivers with modern vehicle functions, such as advanced driver assistance systems, represents an important concern in the automotive sector. The shown training platform is developed for the utilization in future driving schools. The platform has a scalable and modular architecture so that any driving simulator can be networked to its common driving instructor unit. Hence, several drivers can participate in training sessions simultaneously. Moreover, driving instructors can use a head-mounted display to participate interactively within the same virtual environment of any selected driver/trainee to carry out their usual supervisory and instruction roles.
