Sensor fusion: enhanced localization for the open-road

Obtaining high-accuracy positioning in poor GNSS environments has historically been an expensive challenge, requiring high-spec IMUs that fall under export controls. Using LiDAR as a navigation input introduces an error model unlike traditional GNSS-aided INSs, due to its performance when used for odometry and feature recognition in built up areas. When this data in integrated into an effective sensor fusion model, it leads to more usable test data, in more environments, more of the time.
