Why is “good enough” positioning not okay in ag autonomy?

Presented by

James Szabo - NovAtel, part of Hexagon

About this talk

Classic GNSS positioning systems are good while there is an operator in the tractor cab, but what happens when there is no longer a driver taking control during position interruptions? In this presentation Hexagon | NovAtel’s Agriculture Autonomy Product Manager James Szabo discusses the challenges of classic GNSS positioning and how we are overcoming them to support autonomous equipment in agriculture.
