Point One Navigation, a provider of high-precision location solutions, recently announced that it was selected by the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) to provide real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections technology for the world's fastest autonomous racing cars at CES 2024 in Las Vegas.
Point One's RTK network delivers centimeter-accurate location services that make autonomous racing at high speeds possible. IAC race cars often exceed 180 mph and require precise location data for safe high-performance racing. The IAC chose Point One Navigation based on the company’s proven record in delivering precise location data to many companies through its RTK technology.
RTK in autonomous applications
“As with any competition, we want to win,” said Gary Passon, AIracingTech founder and Autonomous Motorsports Principal at UC Berkeley. “Point One's RTK technology is not only incredibly accurate but also remarkably easy to integrate and use. It has been an essential component in optimizing our vehicle's performance and has increased our ability to compete at such high speeds.”
Point One Navigation will also provide its RTK positioning technology to the next generation of engineering students striving to build autonomous machines and vehicles.
“Students are the purest kind of innovators,” Nathan said. “They’re pushing the envelope of what’s possible quicker than any business, even startups and cutting-edge companies. Many of our current team members participated in similar engineering challenges while in school. That experience has been decisive in driving our own technology forward.”
