The satellite production for Geely's self-driving cars has begun

Well, this might be a scary thought, but the future of autonomous driving is already here and companies all over the world are doing what they can to get ahead. Geely, in particular, has begun mass production for satellites that'll be used for high-precision navigation networks for its self-driving cars.

Developed independently by Geely's very own Geespace, these satellites will be used for multiple aspects, and they're targetting to produce around 500 units every year. For the future of Geely's fully autonomous vehicles, their main function is to assist in creating a powerful communication medium as well as state-of-the-art navigation.

These low-orbit satellites will help to pinpoint and provide precise position capabilities for their self-driving vehicles. It is indeed a major step towards autonomous driving for the country considering that its main use has always been for military purposes. Geely might be behind as compared to some private firms in the US, but one should never doubt what they're capable to deliver on short notice.
