We’re honored to be featured in Arm’s Success Story Library, highlighting how TERN is reshaping navigation with our Independently-Derived Positioning System (IDPS™). This recognition is especially meaningful as we expand our active pilots with several automotive manufacturers who are also Arm partners, building the resilient platforms mobility demands.

Why This Matters for Automakers

GPS was designed for a different era. Dependent on 32-year-old infrastructure, it underperforms where drivers need it most—tunnels, parking garages, dense cities, and remote terrain. These blind spots frustrate drivers, undermine ADAS performance, and slow the path to autonomy.

TERN’s IDPS™ closes that gap. Built entirely in software, it runs on existing vehicle sensors and maps—no satellites, no added hardware, no costly infrastructure. For OEMs, that means:

Always-available navigation powering turn-by-turn apps and infotainment systems, even when GPS fails.

Lane-level accuracy through proprietary sensor fusion that reduces drift and keeps guidance precise.

Independent positioning for ADAS and autonomy, eliminating GPS as a single point of failure.

Future-proof resilience against jamming, spoofing, and signal loss.

Continuous improvement with OTA updates and AI-driven learning that refine performance with every drive.

Shared Clients, Shared Vision

Many of the world’s leading automakers are Arm customers. Together with Arm, TERN is providing the foundation for platforms that demand efficiency, low compute load, and uncompromising accuracy. IDPS™ strengthens the in-car experience today while unlocking the safety, reliability, and autonomy that tomorrow’s drivers will expect.

As our CEO Shaun Moore told Arm:

“The value is a vehicle that can effectively think for itself, not just aware of its surroundings, but knowing exactly where it is.”

Recognition and Momentum

From being named Autotech AI Solution of the Year to receiving honors at CES and Fast Company during this past calendar year, TERN’s work is being recognized across the industry. But the greatest validation comes from our OEM partners, who are future-proofing their vehicles and their brands by ensuring drivers never see “GPS signal lost” again.

Looking Ahead

Being featured by Arm underscores not only how far we’ve come but also where we’re headed. Together with Arm and our shared automotive partners, we’re advancing the future of mobility: signal-free, software-first, and always on.
