Too Long; Didn't Read

A GPS Successor Could be the Killer App for today’s GPS system. Blockage technology could be used to create a new, more secure, global positioning system. FOAM aims to provide verifiable geolocation services without the need for satellite connections. Boeing is also working on a system that would use blockchain as a failsafe location data repository for its’ planes. The idea is also meant to help thwart potential spoofing attacks on conventional GPS signals. If it comes to fruition, it might be the first application that could guarantee the kind of secure and resilient network needed to enable wide-scale use of autonomous vehicles.
