Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018063245A1] In an embodiment, a localization module can provide coordinates of the vehicle relative to the Earth and relative to the drivable surface, both of which are precise enough to allow for self-driving, and further can compensate for a temporary lapse in reliable GPS service by continuing to track the car's position by tracking its movement with inertial sensors (e.g., accelerometers and gyroscopes) and RADAR data. The localization module bases its output on a geolocation relative to the Earth and sensor measurements of the drivable surface and its surroundings to determine where the car is in relation to the Earth and the drivable surface.
