regarding GPS errors, is it GPS which is the issue, or just phones with sub-par sensors and set ups?

I ask this cause my wife's previous phone had consistently crappy GPS performance, losing satellite connection very often, getting stuck etc.

I never had such issues with mine, nor with her new one.

Sensors quality does have something to do with it, but regardless, you won't be able to get the accuracy and consistency from GPS you need for localizing a self driving vehicle.

Unless you get a DGPS unit (super expensive and require 3k subcription from satellites) you get north of 1m accuracy.
