What do we all consider regarding the safety of self-driving cars?
In this rapid march toward automation, many people have a common question, and you may have asked it as well: Is it safe to ride in these vehicles? This question may seem like a yes or no answer, but to dig deeper, the question we should actually ask is: How can OEMs address passenger safety? What are the key points to consider to thoroughly answer the second question?

Can dual-frequency GNSS really not replace inertial navigation?
Dual-band GNSS technology helps mitigate these multipath effects by tracking signals in frequency bands that arrive at the receiver via different paths. Multi-band positioning solutions, such as L1/L5 GNSS receivers, have come a long way to improve positioning performance in urban environments. However, it will take some time before reliable data is available from customers and end users to assess the overall benefit. In the meantime, it is also worth pointing out how inertial navigation can help resolve many of the urban positioning challenges mentioned above.

Uncovering the secrets behind the GNSS correction service reference frame
This white paper provides an overview of the various coordinate reference frame systems and their role in the calculation of GNSS correction data. When evaluating GNSS correction services, users often need to compare multiple services. If there is a significant deviation between two services, it means that the services use different reference frames. The authors explore the mystery behind the reference frames, reveal the mystery of this deviation, and point out specific examples of its use.
