Driverless vehicles must operate with a safety integrity level, but urban environments degrade GNSS navigation accuracy and thereby fault-free integrity. Integration with INS helps maintain continuity, but position errors drift over time without GNSS signals. Whether modern navigation systems can provide satisfactory integrity for driverless vehicl
