GMV to build positioning system for BMW AVs

Spanish technology company GMV is to develop a satellite-based positioning system for BMW’s next generation of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The company says its software determines the vehicle’s position using algorithms modified to meet BMW’s safety requirements. GMV is also providing a global navigation satellite system correction service to be run in a secure infrastructure using data from a global network of monitoring stations.
