Wouldn't this also be relevant to boring old human-driving cars and loads of other applications?

- maxerickson 10y agoHumans don't really navigate at a meter scale when they are driving. A nav system giving directions 19.9 seconds before the turn isn't going to be noticeably different than one doing it 20 seconds before the turn.
- varjag 10y agoOne would really hope the steering in self driving cars is derived from sensory input and not nav system waypoints.
- ceejayoz 10y ago"Other applications" is general enough to be obviously true, but what would "boring old human-driving cars" need sub-meter-precise GPS for?
- sparky_z 10y agoI would think that normal GPS maps intended as a navigation aid for humans don't need ultra-high precision. Even an offset of a few meters wouldn't be enough to confuse it about which road you're on and the direction you're headed. What's the worst that could happen? It tells you to turn right in 100 ft when it's really 105 feet? A human driver wouldn't even notice.
