As soon as the car starts, gps becomes available at maximum resolution.
There is no warmup time since during physical formula student events cars often start with pre-locked gps.

The inaccuracies in the GPS sensor position is generated with adding an offset vector from the ground truth, as a vector [x_err, y_err, z_err]T , where x_err, y_err are generated through a Gaussian distribution with 0 mean and eph variance, and z_err through a Gaussian distribution with 0 mean and epv variance.
The inaccuracies in the GPS sensor position is generated with adding an offset vector from the ground truth, as a vector [x_err, y_err, z_err]<sup>T</sup>, where x_err, y_err are generated through a Gaussian distribution with 0 mean and eph variance, and z_err through a Gaussian distribution with 0 mean and epv variance.
Currently the eph is set to **4 cm**.
This noise, however, is only added if the measured velocity is above an arbitrarily chosen threshold (currently 0.1m/s).
To velocities below that, this additional inaccuracy is not introduced to avoid “jumpy” positions during standstill of the vehicle.
