Hola, estoy traduciendo un texto sobre una plegadora eléctrica. Esta oración fue dada como ejemplo sobre un embotellamiento.
We have a traffic jam. This picture, we have an 80% load. There's a little bit of room between the cars. There's room for error. If a driver makes an error, that's fine. You have a little bit of a buffer and we still get a lot more cars coming through every day.
Muchas gracias!

margen de maniobra/error o zona de seguridad
The text is saying that in the image there's a little bit of space between cars, so the folding machine can pass between them and if a car makes a mistake it will not hit the machine.

amortiguación
La idea es que hay espacio para los errores (menores) sin que por ello el resultado final se vea afectado. Un (pequeño) error se puede amortiguar.
"Tienes un poco de amortiguación y aun así, seguimos teniendo muchísimos más coches pasando a diario"

: Buffer is not being used in the literal sense of suspension or something that absorbs impact. I'm not sure if "amortiguación" can be used metaphorically in Spanish for this context; if so, I agree with your suggestion. If not, well I don't agree ;@)

: La verdad "amortiguación" no encaja con el resto de la frase en este contexto.
