Abstract
A device includes a memory configured to store a first position estimate of a first vehicle. The device also includes a receiver configured to receive a second position estimate of a second vehicle. The device further includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data indicating a first relative position estimate of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle. The device also includes one or more processors configured to determine, based on a comparison of the first position estimate and the second position estimate, a second relative position estimate of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle. The one or more processors are also configured to determine whether the first position estimate is reliable based at least in part on determining whether the first relative position estimate matches the second relative position estimate.
