The document discusses the importance of timing for autonomous vehicle navigation. It notes that autonomous navigation requires a hybrid system that uses multiple sensors like GNSS, radar, vision systems and real-time networks. While GNSS alone is insufficient due to interference, lack of availability in certain areas and weak signals, a hybrid system must be highly reliable, utilize many sensors and ensure safety. It also discusses the role of time sensitive networks in autonomous vehicles and notes that network latency is a key factor since the network may be part of the vehicle's control loop. Simulation and testing of such complex systems is important to analyze interaction effects.
