1. A system to provide a graphical display output including a virtual roadway system for testing an automobile design, the system comprising:

  • a realistic roadway virtualization system including a non-transitory memory, a processor, a virtualization application, and a realism system, wherein the virtualization application and the realism system are stored in non-transitory memory which is communicatively coupled to the processor;

    wherein the virtualization application includes instructions that, responsive to being executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a virtual environment including a virtual roadway system;

    wherein the virtualization application includes a plurality of fields for inputting a plurality of roadway inputs that define a plurality of parameters describing the virtual roadway system;

    wherein the virtualization application generates the virtual environment including the virtual roadway system based on the plurality of roadway inputs;

    wherein the realism system includes instructions that, responsive to being executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform steps including;

    importing a set of roadway realism data describing a plurality of real world roadway models;

    receiving, from a client device, a mobility input and an accessibility input, wherein the mobility input describes a mobility function for the virtual roadway system and the accessibility input describes an accessibility function for the virtual roadway system;

    determining the plurality of roadway inputs based on the set of roadway realism data, the mobility input and the accessibility input; and

    inputting the plurality of roadway inputs into the plurality of fields;

    wherein the virtualization application generates a graphical display output including the virtual environment, which includes the virtual roadway system, based on the plurality of roadway inputs; and

    wherein the virtualization application provides the virtual environment to the client device.
