Skylark, Swift Navigation’s cloud-based GNSS correction service for autonomous vehicles, continually undergoes testing – both as a gauge for internal improvements as well as customer-specific applications.
This paper captures one such test, as the Swift team demonstrates the true breadth of its precise positioning solution with a test drive that extended beyond standard drives in local, frequently-tested environments to one across the West Coast of the United States. In addition to providing the data from this test drive, Swift summarizes its turnkey automotive positioning solution consisting of the Skylark cloud-based GNSS corrections service and Starling positioning engine.
Our West Coast Drive Test in Numbers:
- 13 hours of driving
- Across 3 states
- 800 miles / 1,300 km covered
- Below 10 cm error over 70% of the time
