Agreed totally and even if we could solve all the issues isn't the point of the car to take somebody somewhere. Can't quite see how taking nobody somewhere is beneficial.

How many years away from that Woosh? Still think it's solving a problem that does not exist and creating more in mean time. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/06/15/taplock_broken_screwdriver/ This is same kind of thinking. We, ve got this new technology let's put it to use.

I, ve wondered where we now stand with this new technology for such as braking for dogs in road. I was always told don't risk those behind (or yourself) braking for an animal. ie)Check mirror before braking for a stupid mutt... Emergency stopping with a 30 tonne truck behind you is not exactly...

OK Woosh. I give in. We need Galileo. BTW I did read the link, you have neither tried my experiment or offered an explanation. You are missing the point.

Only if underlying system (not the GPS but the method of pinpointing a reference ie lat/long or polar etc were inherently accurate enough to do so. The problem is not the accuracy of GPS it the grid system etc the GPS must coordinate too. I, m no theorist Woosh but do the experiment I...

Totally agree, like I said earlier the system is already fantastic. I think there was a feeling that some thought it was another bad consequence of Brexit. Not using Galileo will be totally inconsequential for 99.9% of us. I really can't see any applications where real benefit could be achieved...

Yes, that's exactly the process along with examination of incoming frequency of time carrier signal. All satellites are geo stationary so as unit picks each one up it calculates distance from it and when enough have been found gives a circle of overlapping signals, in which it knows unit is in...

But that's assuming zero error in the actual coordinates. The construction of the coordinate itself involves referencing to some prearranged datum. Try it yourself. Use a machine to mark a point. Put that coordinate in another machine. Use both to find the point. The original will go straight...

Good points. Apart from the accuracy issue and number of satellites. The best accuracy is achieved with a broad spread of satellites, from directly overhead to the horizon. It's both the triangulation effect and finding best satellite signal for greatest Doppler effect. (ie going across...

None of that increases the accuracy of the data on any given chart or map or how we reference to it. They can only increase the relative accuracy of whichever unit ( or its system) we speak of. The charts and maps for example need to be 100% accurate, our plotting on and off them the same...

All the systems will suffer from same problem. Let me try and explain. (probably badly) Assume you walk into middle of a car park with a modern Differential/Doppler GPS unit. You hit coordinates and record your position. You draw a circle around your feet. I, m fairly sure that same unit will...

Not sure how your application works flecc? I know the current system can be used to find a single bouy in mid ocean. In Caribbean drug smugglers, gun runners etc drop a bouy into sea with their goodies below. They then satellite txt to their buyers or sellers the position of the bouy and back...

There must be something I, m missing because the current things are already incredible. Can't really see what benefit would be even if units became more accurate which I can't see anyway.

Don't know anything about Galileo etc (except I thought system was already integrated partially into USA system currently used) But I, ve been using GPS since it first arrived.(first hand held around 97) At first for normal users errors were introduced to keep positional error quite high (speed...

I did say perhaps.. (, big perhaps)

Because it's relevant to yours.
