"XK-1" Simulated Platform Proposal: How The Motion Pro II From CXC Simulations Opens Doors For Adaptive Driving










Objective:


This conventional Momo wheel is perfect for endurance racing, but not conducive to building an accessible platform.




Objective:

The main dilemma that the physically-challenged commuter faces is the same one that every commuter faces: time-and-money. We often talk about motorsports, but we all too frequently forget to take a look at one of its most important elements: product development, an obstacle that originally spawned the development of the idea behind "Tesla Mobility."


Because we're primarily concerned with platform and not the vehicle itself, we don't care what make the simulator's body is; only that the platform is fitted with a can-am body.



Product development, the stuff that we use in order to execute a specific task, is probably even more important to the motoring process then is vehicle/platform selection. Because what are vehicles and platforms if we don't have the equipment developed to be able to use it?! Product development, the actual testing phase of development in the struggle to make driving accessible, is undoubtedly the biggest challenge to the disabled, motoring community.


The "J-Series," multi-directional joystick from EMC Adaptive Driving is ideal for steering and throttle control on nearly any intuitive platform.


Ironically enough, it is also this need for product development that is a necessary stepping stone to the automotive craft as a whole. But we still need a platform to test from. For this reason, we are formally presenting to Tesla Motors and CXC Simulations an idea for a simulated platform that would serve multiple purposes.
