All set to switch. Cool. An electric vehicle has amazing acceleration. People instantly can feel the difference between a normal vehicle and an EV. Man, that was awesome! We are at Gratton Raceway. We're coming out of the simulator world into the prototype stage. We want to ensure we have that driving fun in the vehicle and freedom on the track. It has great directional control, tremendous feedback, Good ride, great steering, great track performance. A battery electric vehicle can totally deliver the excitement on the road. I don't think anyone's expecting to get an electric vehicle that'll be this good to drive.

We offer a range of automotive Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators featuring advanced computational and mechanical performance capabilities, and industry-unique motion and immersion solutions that create compelling virtual worlds for drivers and product development engineers. Ansible Motion DIL simulators are used by automotive and research organisations around the globe to place real people into direct contact with imagined vehicles, on-board systems and situations. Our DIL simulators are designed, built and developed at our factory and R&D Centre in Hethel, England. In 2022 we were acquired by AB Dynamics plc ([www.abdplc.com](https://www.abdplc.com/)). - [Home](https://www.ansiblemotion.com) - [Applications](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/applications) - [Products](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) - [About](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/about-driving-simulator-science) - [Blog](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-articles) - [News](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news) - [Contact](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/contact-ansible-motion-for-driving-simulator-information) Ansible Motion Limited Hethel Engineering Centre Chapman Way, Norwich NR14 8FB UK [+44 (0)1603 908070](tel:+4401603908070) ![international trade](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/Ansible_Motion_Feb21/international%20trade.svg)   © Ansible Motion Limited 2009-2026 - [ Privacy Policy](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-privacy-policy) - [Purchasing Terms](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/purchasing-terms) - [Terms of Business](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Modern Slavery Statement ](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/modern-slavery-statement) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ansible-motion/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/ansiblemotion) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Article", "articleBody" : "Ford recently published a myth-busting video on YouTube, showing the benefits of using an ...", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Phil Morse", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/author/phil-morse" }, "dateCreated" : "September 19, 2019", "dateModified" : "February 09, 2022", "datePublished" : "September 19, 2019", "description" : "Ford published a myth busting video that shows the benefits of using an immersive DIL simulator to design an electronic vehicle that is fun to drive", "headline" : "Ford Busts the Myth that EVs Aren't Fun to Drive", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 800, "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/News_Images/ford-ev-myth-debunked-cover.png", "width" : 800 }, "keywords" : "Ansible Motion news,Vehicle Engineering", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/ford-busts-the-electric-vehicle-myth-that-evs-arent-fun-to-drive", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/AML-10-years-logor.jpg" }, "name" : "Ansible Motion Limited" } } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "description" : "There is a myth that electrics (EV) vehicles are not fun to drive.
