1. A driving simulator for assessing and improving autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle driving skills comprising:
- a computerized audio/visual device programmed to;
display an interactive driving simulation presented through four active visual zones from a driver'"'"'s-seat perspective comprising (1) a driver'"'"'s forward view, (2) a rear mirror view, (3) a left side mirror view, and (4) a right side mirror view, wherein the driver'"'"'s forward view includes a combined representation of a driver'"'"'s side window view, a windshield view, and a passenger'"'"'s window view, and wherein the rear mirror view, left side mirror view, and right side mirror view each simultaneously depict a scene occurring simultaneously with the driver'"'"'s forward view;
display movement of an object moving through one of the four active visual zones;
determine if the movement of the object requires resumption of driver control; and
determine if driver control was resumed.

Abstract
A autonomous and semi-autonomous driver training system for presenting a user of the system with simultaneous representation of a driving environment directed to four active visual zones comprising a driver'"'"'s forward view, rear mirror view, and respective left and right side mirror views; for displaying movement of an object moving through one of the four active visual zones; determining if the movement of the object requires resumption of driver control; and determining if driver control was resumed.

11. A driving simulator for assessing and improving interaction with an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle comprising:
-
a computerized audio/visual device programmed to; display an interactive driving simulation presented through four active visual zones from a driver'"'"'s-seat perspective comprising (1) a driver'"'"'s forward view, (2) a rear mirror view, (3) a left side mirror view, and (4) a right side mirror view, wherein the driver'"'"'s forward view includes a combined representation of a driver'"'"'s side window view, a windshield view, and a passenger'"'"'s window view, and wherein the rear mirror view, left side mirror view, and right side mirror view each simultaneously depict a scene occurring simultaneously with the driver'"'"'s forward view; display movement of a vehicle moving through one of the four active visual zones and one of two inactive zones representing a left blind spot and a right blind spot; track the location of the vehicle in the active visual zones or inactive zones; stop the interactive driving simulation; display a graphic multi-zone screen, wherein each zone of the multi-zone screen represents one of the driver'"'"'s forward view, the rear mirror view, the left side mirror view, the right side mirror view, the left blind spot, and the right blind spot respectively; display a prompt to identify the zone of the multi-zone screen in which the vehicle was located when the interactive driving simulation was stopped; determine if a response to the prompt was correct; and determine a response time to the prompt.
