About This Game #
eXpanSIM is a universal vehicle simulator that supports VR and lets you:
- train the technique of driving cars and trucks,
- test your strength in competitive driving,
- validate new solutions and conduct experimental research.
eXpanSIM aims to capture the realism of driving cars and trucks of different types (petrol, diesel, and electric). The game offers a range of different locations including urban environments, race tracks, and off-road routes. Driving in VR mode is optional.The project is powered by an original vehicle physics engine designed for professional applications. It was developed by Raving Bots, a Polish indie studio.
Driving school #
Improve your driving skills. Learn the principles of eco-driving and hone your driving technique. A range of specially designed training scenarios will lead you to perfection.
Racing #
Prepare yourself for a high realism and an extreme level of difficulty. There will be no driving assistance systems (unless they exist in real vehicles). You’ve been warned.
Research testbed #
Communicate with the simulation using a convenient API. Conduct a series of experiments and collect results easily. eXpanSIM is a modern tool for engineers, designers, Artificial Intelligence researchers working on autonomous vehicles and more.
Vehicles #
Currently available vehicle types:
- formula car,
- muscle car,
- limousine,
- city car,
- pickup,
- van,
- city bus,
- intercity bus,
- fire truck,
- off-road truck,
- lorry (with a semitrailer or a tanker),

Vehicle models have right-hand and left-hand traffic variants as well. We are constantly expanding the collection of available vehicles. In the near future, the drones will be added.
Equipment #
To fully experience the potential of the simulator, it is recommended to use a steering wheel with pedals. The game supports popular VR equipment such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Valve Index.
Work in progress #
The project is currently in closed beta testing. Contact us if you would like to get access.
