Abstract

Techniques for operating a navigation system are provided. An example method according to these techniques includes determining a first localization solution associated with a location of the vehicle in a navigable environment using a radar transceiver of the navigation system, determining a second localization solution associated with the location of the vehicle in the navigable environment using a LiDAR transceiver, a camera, or both of the navigation system, selecting a localization solution from the first and second localization solutions based on whether an accuracy of the first localization exceeds an accuracy of the second localization solution, and utilizing the selected vehicle localization solution for navigation of the vehicle through the navigable environment.
