this is really cool, honestly I wish this had become mainstream instead of GPS, it would have made the conversion to automated vehicles so much easier. Instead of having to worry about pathing the system could have worked using the address system linked directly to the road, the only thing it would need is cameras to be sure it won't collide with anything, positioning could be via the antenna instead of the wildly inaccurate GPS, plus it would work in tunnels/heavy metal areas. That being said, price wise this would be a far more expensive startup price

What happens if the car deviates from the path?

Dunno man, but that is why we still need a driver.
