100x more precise: Autonomous systems to get accurate positioning

Swift Navigation, a San Francisco-based company, has developed Skylark, a cloud-based precise positioning service that enhances the accuracy of conventional GNSS systems by 100 times, achieving centimeter-level precision critical for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and precision logistics. Unlike traditional GNSS accuracy of 3 to 10 meters, Skylark delivers sub-inch accuracy by correcting GNSS signal errors in real time. Notably, Skylark is the first real-time cloud service certified to meet the ISO 26262:2018 functional safety standards for road vehicles, enabling scalable, safety-certified positioning without relying on expensive physical data centers. Skylark’s advanced technology leverages atmospheric modeling, carrier-grade networks, and a cloud-native architecture to provide reliable, cost-effective, and high-integrity positioning at scale. The system currently supports over 10 million ADAS-enabled and autonomous vehicles globally and is integrated into programs with more than 20 automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, robotics companies, and large commercial fleet operators.
