Frequently Asked Questions about Speedometers

Question number FAQ-0027

Is it not possible to measure horizontal speed?

Current devices cannot measure lateral speed. Additionally, GPS speedometers measure the speed of the antenna's movement rather than the vehicle's speed in a straight direction. Therefore, when the vehicle skids, there are discrepancies in the measurements between optical speedometers and GPS speedometers.
