GMV’s positioning solution to debut in the current BMW 7 Series

GMV has reached another milestone in automated driving by integrating its safe, high-precision and reliable positioning technology as a – key component of the BMW Personal Pilot L3 function, the new feature available for order in the new BMW 7 Series.

SAE Level 3 automated driving represents a significant advancement in autonomous vehicle technology. The vehicle automatedly manages specific driving tasks within defined conditions, requiring human intervention only when the system encounters challenges beyond its capabilities. This is a noteworthy departure from more driver-dependent levels, enabling users to disengage under specified circumstances while helping to enhance both comfort and safety on public roads.

GMV’s proprietary positioning solution consists of two components: the onboard Safe Positioning Engine software (SPE) and a Safe GNSS Correction Service (SCS).

The SCS and SPE have been implemented and tested with the added goal of compatibility with third-party implementations. The Safe Correction Service (SCS) provides BMW Group vehicles with corrections to the Broadcast Ephemeris across various GNSS constellations, augmentation data for mitigating local atmospheric effects, and safety-related information for computing a reliable user position.
