**How Simulation Noise Increases Travel Time — The Hidden Delay in Autonomous Vehicle Exhibits** Curious about just how responsive real-world systems truly are? Recent visits to advanced science exhibits reveal a key insight: even a well-designed 12-kilometer autonomous vehicle model route, used to demonstrate self-driving technology, faces measurable time delays when simulation noise is factored in. Simulation noise—intentional data variations to mimic real-world unpredictability—adds 15% to effective travel time. Understanding why this matters reveals bigger questions about smart mobility, system resilience, and user expectations in emerging tech displays. --- **Why Simulation Noise Matters in Autonomous Vehicle Exhibits**
