GPS/IMU

GPS (Global Positioning System) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) provide:

• GPS:
• Vehicle location on the map
• Navigation routing
• Speed and heading information
• Integration with HD maps (when available)

• IMU:
• Acceleration and rotation measurements
• Vehicle dynamics sensing
• Helps with sensor fusion
• Provides data when GPS signal is lost

These sensors work together with cameras to provide: - Accurate positioning for navigation - Context for understanding the driving environment - Integration with mapping data - Redundancy for safety-critical systems

Unlike radar and ultrasonic sensors, GPS/IMU remain in all hardware generations as they provide essential navigation and positioning capabilities.
