I'm glad that when my screen goes out that I can still navigate. Does it allow for voice nav then? The caption for the article should say GPS not GPU.

very cool tech, i am sure saftey measures liek this are already existing in self driving cars or at least systems to navigate traffic and operate, but to do it in a chip that size is very impressive
