Well, when I’m driving in Kyiv, and there is an air raid alert, usually my car navigation starts to derp, and after a few minutes it thinks that it’s suddenly in Lima, Peru.

Not that I mind too much, I know how to get around without navigation.





It does teleport to Peru but it also fast-forwards time to about a year into the future, which caused my car to think its overdue for that oil change. It even synced that back to the headquarters and I got an email asking me to take it to service.. (and arriving there on the wrong side of the Dnieper, I just decided to wait it out)

Wish we could put it into a manual mode where you just reset it's position once and then it updates based on wheel encoders & snapping to roads.


GPS jamming for incoming drones?
