Autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are evolving toward higher levels of automation, where GNSS positioning is becoming an increasingly important input for driving decisions and vehicle control, making localization not only a matter of performance, but also of safety and system reliability.

In this context, accuracy alone is no longer sufficient. Modern AD/ADAS platforms require integrity, determinism, and safety awareness.

The u-blox A20 GNSS platform addresses these requirements by combining high-performance Quality Managed (QM) GNSS positioning with ASIL-B functionally safe GNSS measurements in a single automotive-grade module designed for safety-demanding applications at Level 2+ and beyond.

Its architecture enables a single-device solution that supports both TCU-integrated positioning functions and AD/ADAS localization needs. Firmware-defined variants can evolve over time, allowing OEMs and Tier 1s to extend capabilities without redesigning hardware and without compromising performance, flexibility, or time-to-market.

Form-factor compatible with the u-blox X20 automotive product family, such as ZED-X20K, u-blox A20 enables a seamless transition toward safety-ready positioning across the entire platform lifecycle.
