The automotive industry as the main driver behind precision navigation satellite systems GNSS receiver adoption

Steadily, one can observe that, low-cost, precision, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers are on the interesting way to become a great reality in the driverless cars, drones, and even smartphone markets.

In the automotive industry centimeter-level accuracy is essential to complete driver safety; the redundancy necessary for autonomous vehicles, so that, the automotive industry is now seen as the main driver behind precision navigation satellite systems GNSS receiver adoption.

There is a variety of competing technologies currently under investigation by the automotive industry. ABI Research forecasts it will move to a hybridized approach, combining LIDAR, HD maps, sensor fusion, machine vision, and precision GNSS.
