Isn't this why many self-driving cars employ cameras, IR, LIDAR/radar etc.?

- jonknee 10y agoYes, I don't know of any self-driving car that uses GPS alone. That sounds problematic for many reasons (enter a tunnel and you're dead!).
- komali2 10y agoJust take a look at your google fitness tracker map after a run to see why this could be bad. Oops, we're suddenly a block north for some reason? Let me just veer sharp right to fix this!
- verandaguy 10y agoClearly, you can just avoid tunnels -- nobody really _needs_ to leave Switzerland when they're already there, right? :P
- kwhitefoot 10y agoBit difficult to drive in Norway too. Hundreds of tunnels and an average length of about 800m, longest about 25km. And most of those over a kilometre are not straight so dead reckoning would be risky.
