Driving pleasure is a feeling of enjoyment derived from operating a motor vehicle. Factors known to contribute to driving pleasure include responsiveness of the vehicle to driver manipulation of the controls, which means that the vehicle obeys and executes driver's commands faithfully.
In the vehicle development process, driving pleasure is "the driver's feel for vehicle manipulation under various road conditions.” When designing a car, features that increase driving pleasure and safety may work in opposition, forcing engineers to make choices between the two or find a new solution that accomplishes both.
Forces are due to acceleration, linear and angular. Longitudinal forces are due to acceleration and deceleration, and lateral forces occur while turning act on the driver. These forces can not be easily simulated anywhere other than a vehicle. Lateral force is available only in a four wheeled vehicle, and can be up to 5g in F1 racing. In motorcycles lateral force on the driver is zero even when cornering, due to leaning the bike into a corner to nullify lateral force.
