Systems and methods for virtual autonomous vehicle demonstration

A method for a virtual autonomous vehicle (VAV) demonstration comprising:

• configuring a display device to display a VAV demonstration application, wherein the VAV demonstration application includes video data and steering wheel data obtained from a real-world driving session of an autonomous vehicle;
• providing a steering wheel;
• coupling a control device with the steering wheel and the display device;
• controlling, via a video control scheme, playback of the video data;
• and
• controlling, via a steering wheel control scheme, movement of the steering wheel (i) based on the steering wheel data and (ii) in correspondence with motion of the autonomous vehicle in the video data.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for a virtual autonomous vehicle (VAV) demonstration, the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause a VAV demonstration system to:

• display a VAV demonstration application on a display device of the VAV demonstration system, wherein the VAV demonstration application includes video data and steering wheel data obtained from a real-world driving session of an autonomous vehicle;
• control, via a video control scheme, playback of the video data;
• and
• control, via a steering wheel control scheme, movement of the steering wheel (i) based on the steering wheel data and (ii) in correspondence with motion of the autonomous vehicle in the video data.
