Therefore, if we know the exact position of the vehicle on the road, it won't be hard to calculate the optimal trajectory. One obvious solution is to use GPS. However, GPS can be accurate to within 1-2 meters under perfect conditions. In areas with high-rise buildings or mountains, the accuracy can suffer, because the GPS receiver won't be able to get a signal from a sufficient number of satellites. One way to solve this problem is with ...
