Autonomous vehicles need more precise positioning systems than GPS. Deutsche Telekom's Precise Positioning solution with Swift Navigation has proven itself in a live test.
Only a few years ago self-driving cars were no more than a vision in a science fiction movie. Today, the first partially automated vehicles with various assistance systems can already be seen on our roads.
The prerequisite for self-driving cars: data must be transmitted in real time. Because - decisions have to be made in fractions of a second. Only then will the car come to a halt in time before an obstacle or take evasive action.
Precise positioning: partnership with Swift Navigation
The accuracy of conventional satellite navigation systems such as GPS is three to five meters. With Swift's Skylark™ cloud solution, autonomous vehicles and machines can be located with an accuracy of up to ten centimeters.
