1. A method for obtaining performance data used to provide driving instruction to a driver, comprising:
- interfacing a driving simulator with a data acquisition system;
acquiring a first set of performance data from said data acquisition system based on interaction of the driver with the driving simulator;
terminating said interfacing of said driving simulator with said data acquisition system;
interfacing said data acquisition system with a vehicle;
acquiring a second set of performance data from said data acquisition system based on interaction of the same driver with said vehicle;
providing real-time driving instruction to the driver based on the automatic analysis of the first set of performance data and the second set of performance data.

7. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a driver'"'"'s performance, comprising:
-
acquiring first data relating to the driver'"'"'s performance in a driving simulator from a first data acquisition system associated with the driving simulator; acquiring second data relating to the same driver'"'"'s performance in a vehicle from a second data acquisition system associated with the vehicle; and automatically analyzing the first data and the second data to generate real-time feedback information; wherein the first data acquisition system is the same data acquisition system as the second data acquisition system. - View Dependent Claims (8)
