Reliable GNSS navigation with high integrity
The automotive industry is on the move.We want cars cleaner, safer, smarter. This is driving change in the industry on many fronts, one of which is: ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems). ADAS helps the driver control the car resulting in improved comfort and safety. Development of driver assistance technologies is paving the way towards full vehicle autonomy.
The numerous sensors aboard the car such as radars, LiDAR and cameras take the role of human eyes as vehicle’s ‘perception’. Together with artificial intelligence, perception provides the vehicle with awareness of its surroundings and obstacles, both static and dynamic, expected and unexpected. Another crucial part of ADAS is the information about the global location, speed and orientation of the vehicle. High-performance GPS/GNSS receivers are accurate and safe enough for automated driving and, together with an inertial sensor, they complement vehicle’s perception. Take a look at our Automotive insight article to find out how GNSS and perception sensors complement each other for optimal autopilot performance.
