Ford’s Human Occupant Package Simulator — It’s Brand New!
Saturday, December 26th, 2009
Ford is actually imploring some real skills here and they are using real humans in a video game simulator so that they can build better cars and trucks. The technology that has already been used in films and also in some fantastic video games is now making its way into the automotive industry and it seems that Ford is the first automaker to actually use it.
Basically, HOPS is the name of it and that stands for Human Occupant Package Simulator. In real life – this basically means that there are human test subjects that are using this particular simulator in order to produce better quality cars and trucks.
Ford – to me is really taking the next step and I personally think that is absolutely incredible.
