“PD Sim: Bring the World to Life Deterministic multi-sensor simulation that scales to millions of test miles — at a fraction of the cost of real-world driving.  Why Determinism Matters ## Same scenario, same result. Every time. When a perception test fails, you need to know why. PD Sim is deterministic by design”
