Drivers rely on navigation systems for route planning, turn-by-turn directions, and traffic alerts wherever they go. But standard GNSS positioning is not precise enough to place a vehicle in the correct lane (or sometimes even the correct road), causing missed turns, distracted driving, and frustration.
The Swift Automotive Suite provides universal lane-level positioning that enables error-free navigation. Swift enables centimeter-level precision continent-wide, improving the accuracy of navigation systems in all environments where vehicles operate.
ADAS and autonomous systems rely heavily on perception sensors such as cameras and LiDAR. These localization strategies consume significant compute power and require HD maps, which are costly to build and maintain.
The Swift Automotive Suite offers ASIL-certified absolute positioning and sensor fusion to deliver precise, reliable, and safe localization that just works–everywhere, always, while consuming less data.
With GNSS corrections processed in the cloud, the Swift Automotive Suite scales to support millions of vehicles globally. Unlike other corrections services, which are hosted in physical data centers, Swift’s corrections offer automated scalability and best-in-class cybersecurity at a cost-effective price point.
The future of autonomy requires dynamic HD maps that are continuously maintained to ensure accuracy. OEMs may buy or build these maps, but the challenge is the same either way: the cost and complexity to roll out HD maps at scale and keep them up-to-date using LiDAR is incredibly high.
The Swift Automotive Suite turns every vehicle in your fleet into a continuous contributor of precise feature data for your HD maps. Whether building your own proprietary maps or providing data back to your map vendor in exchange for financial incentives, Swift rapidly expands your map data for a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) relies on a shared understanding of the world by road users and infrastructure. Perception sensors alone will never be able to enable V2X.
The Swift Automotive Suite enables a precise absolute frame of reference that serves as the foundation for sharing location-based data, such as road conditions, between vehicles and infrastructure.
Despite major advances in computer vision, LiDAR, HD maps, and 5G, Level 3 autonomy remains limited in scope. Most autonomous vehicles today are restricted to urban test zones, operate as robotaxis, or are available only in high-end luxury models.
Swift partnered with the Society of Automotive Analysts (SAA) to host a panel discussion on the future of precise GNSS positioning and its role in enabling safe, scalable autonomy.
