How RTK Can Help Autonomous Vehicles See the World (Download)
To varying degrees, autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been in development—and even in use—for decades. But technology has only recently begun to catch up to our imagination. Some experts now project that as many as 57% of passenger vehicles sold by 2035 could be equipped with true self-driving capabilities. Even where full autonomy won’t yet be supported, cars will continue to come equipped with ever more advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
And that’s only passenger vehicles. Google’s autonomous DELIVERY vehicle fleet has already logged more than 300,000 miles. Waymo launched robotaxis, and Amazon is set to begin testing them in a few states. The first race of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League happened this year, and the Indy Autonomous Challenge has been active since 2021.
