eli5: Why do you need to “Drive 50 miles” to reset the sensors in a car?
In: 1
you orobably do not need to go that far
if you ineeded 10 foot of rope from the store would you purcase exactly 10, or a little extra?
by telling the customer 50 miles its at least an hour at highway speeds or two in the city(25mph average) and by then the car is well warmed up
lets say the actual requirement is 30 miles that extra 20 is like that extra rope
if you might start looking and complaining at 40 which means you have gone past the required 30… so its what we call an engineering safty margin
