Self-Driving Vehicles
• Nissan has announced that it will have a self-driving car by 2020, Google has said it will do so by 2018.
Discuss with your neighbor the technological advances that have made this a possibility.

Global Positioning System (GPS)• What is it?
a satellite network used to determine a geographic location on the earth’s surface
Initially developed by the United States Department of Defense, but is now also used for commercial and recreational purposes

Global Positioning System (GPS)• How does it work?
consists of 24 orbiting satellites at anytime at least ‘4’ satellites are ‘visible’ signals from the satellites are picked up by a GPS receiver which
calculates the receiver’s geographic location through triangulation requires at least 4 satellites to effectively identify location (latitude,
longitude, altitude) potential errors affecting accuracy

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• What is it?A system used to store, analyze, and graphically
display tabular data that is able to be represented spatially
GIS Components:o Hardware: Computer, GPS receivers, etc…o GIS softwareo Datao GIS Analyst (person to analyze/interpret the data)o Workflow, Output (map, computation, etc..)http://www.spatial-ed.com/training/25-gis-basics/345-gis-components.html

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Data Analysis Can arrange layers of spatial data to identify and interpret spatial
relationships Layer represents a geographic feature
• Relevance to agriculture structures Site location Drainage areas Elevation modelling Land use patterns Sustainability Risk management
