Hexagon/NovAtel (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) recently announced its PwrPak7-E1 now is supported on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion autonomous vehicle (AV) development platform. DRIVE Hyperion is a fully operational, production-validated and open AV platform that reduces the amount of time and cost required to outfit vehicles with the technology required for AI features and automated driving. The company said the PwrPak7-E1 delivers world-class SPAN (GNSS +INS) technology in an integrated, single-enclosure solution. Powered by NovAtel OEM7 GNSS engine, the PwrPak7-E1 also has enhanced connection options, including serial, USB, CAN and Ethernet, making it an ideal solution for ground truth and high-precision positioning used in development of autonomous vehicles. In conjunction with Novatel's Waypoint Inertial Explorer post-processing software, the PwrPak7-E1 provides ground truth, the critical position reference for autonomous driving software behavior that can be validated.
