Yes, and even if we used more accurate GPS systems it would in my humble opinion not help us in any way in our cars and trucks. I'm not the greatest at math, but let's try to look at it this way. If we travel at a moderate speed of 60 km/h (~40 miles per hour) in one second we will pass approximately 17 meters (~51 feet). GPS receivers refresh our GPS position once every second.
I'm guessing that most GPS receivers give us about 10 meter (30 feet) accuracy. How could it possibly benefit a driver to have a GPS receiver with accuracy better than 10 meters if just in one second we pass distance much greater than 10 meters?
