Rivian Sensor Leader Discusses Importance of Better Localization Sensors for Level 3

The latest safety award for Rivian is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for the R1S as a Top Safety Pick+ for 2023. It accomplishes this and other safety advances with its Driver+ ADAS (advanced driving assistance system), which integrates a set of sensors along with driver attention, GNSS, and IMU modules. At AutoSens Detroit 2023, Abdullah Zaidi, Engineering Lead and Senior Manager at Rivian, presented his take on the state and near future of ADAS sensors including the benefits of adding lidar and the importance of better localization sensors for Level 3 systems.

GEODNET: Taking A Community Approach to GNSS Corrections

When Mike Horton introduced GEODNET at the ION GNSS+ conference in 2021, he recognized it was a bit of a radical idea that may be met with skepticism—but he also knew it provided a solution to a common frustration, and that’s access to low-cost GNSS corrections with centimeter level accuracy.

A: Many augmentations of GNSS satellite navigation have been developed and fielded since the GPS constellation was completed and declared fully operational in 1995. The best known of these are satellite-based and ground-based augmentation systems (SBAS and GBAS), which are public systems designed to support civil aviation.
