Unless it's random and only adds on for say a long trip where you may not notice a mile here or there.
You may not notice, but there are devices that can measure the distance that a car travels, even for a long distance, and with a super high precision.
Car manufacturers have such devices. I have seen a few.
I think they were saying the car software wouldn't add artificial distances to short trips, where it's more obvious. Not that the real world measurement is difficult or anything like that.
That's when I'm most likely to notice.
