We speak to leading experts to ask their opinions on the matter. DIL Simulator supplier Ansible Motion recently opened its new R&D workshop in Norwich, UK. The £2m (US$3.1m) facility, which was installed in just six months, is located at the company’s existing premises at the Hethel Engineering Center, and comprises two workshop spaces. The center piece is [Ansible Motion’s new Delta series simulator](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) which features a 6DOF motion system. ![Ansible_Motion_Testing_Tires_Simulator](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/News_Images/Ansible_Motion_Testing_Tires_Simulator.jpg) [Read the full article on the Tire Testing International website. ](https://www.tiretechnologyinternational.com/opinion/testing-tires-in-the-simulator.html) **Learn more about simulation technology by downloading the whitepaper below:** [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/453384/5ffe6a19-7ead-4b23-8092-b8c6d49e0a07.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/453384/5ffe6a19-7ead-4b23-8092-b8c6d49e0a07) ### Subscribe now ### Popular news ### eBook **Better by design: 10 Advantages of Ansible Motion DIL simulators** ![10-advantages-front-page-01](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/CTAs/2021-CTAs/10-advantages-front-page-01.jpg) [![download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/453384/27bb9213-08a2-4b19-9221-6993ee9fa690.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/453384/27bb9213-08a2-4b19-9221-6993ee9fa690) ## About Ansible Motion Founded in 2009, Ansible Motion creates and deploys technology associated with the physical and logical simulation of human-experienced vehicles. 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" : "The extent to which simulators can be used to test tires has long been a subject of debate ...", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Phil Morse", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/author/phil-morse" }, "dateCreated" : "July 26, 2015", "dateModified" : "February 09, 2022", "datePublished" : "July 26, 2015", "description" : "Testing tires in a DIL simulator - an interview of Ansible Motion by the editors at Tire Technology International.
