Forgot to turn off PPVS. ![Screenshot_20251010-162152](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/f/f1a5a6309372a83a2fbf2c0129d90bb0685117db.jpeg) Yarbo had worked 5 minutes on the area next to the road then I turned off PPVS but it was too late. Yarbo was already out in the field. Lucky it wasn’t out on the road. Haven’t experienced Yarbo outside the boundary inside the garden under the trees. ![IMG_20251010_162224_649](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/e/e2e89ab3c00dd6e6b68747104c59561e4b7aa55f.jpeg) ![IMG_20251010_162236_139](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/c/c72265a966e9ece2240f953b7c600f417665ced5.jpeg) ---

Interesting. Wide open area. No good excuse for poor GPS signal. Sorry this happened to you. Hope you open a ticket and Yarbo is able to figure out what happened. ---

I don’t see a whole lot of stuff to block the GPS in your photos. Yarbo should in deed analyze this. Hopefully you opened a ticket. ---

I’d wager the GPS obstruction took place several minutes prior, and as usual, PPVS “stuck” in crap mode even with 25L2 and 0.00001 HDOP. Again. ---

Poor guy. I’m glad you guys are testing this because I’ve had PPVS off since day one. I was watching a live stream and Ryan kept showing how PPVS was kicking in. My initial thought was how great it was but then got me thinking, what if it lost GPS close to a boundary and just rolled on through into the road, ditch, water, etc. Personally, from what I’ve seen from others, PPVS is great until it’s terrible. I really like the idea but unless some vision or some other tech gets added in to make sure Yarbo doesn’t go out of bounds, this will probably keep happening to people. From where I’m sitting, it kind of feels like PPVS shouldn’t have been added by itself. ---

> it kind of feels like PPVS shouldn’t have been added by itself. Lots of things Yarbo added shouldn’t have been added by itself. They should strive to make operation consistent between versions and allow (or direct) the user to only change the things they want to change. ---

**Hi Kolbe,** I’m sorry to hear about the out-of-boundary issue. I believe this may require further investigation from our support team. Since I wasn’t able to locate any support ticket regarding this in our system, could you please submit a support ticket for this issue if you’d like us to identify the root cause? We’ll also continue working on improving PPVS to make it more reliable. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. ---

Update from my previous post. Reading more, it seems PPVS is actually using (which I’m sure many of you already realized): - **Computer Vision with dual cameras** for obstacle recognition and path guidance - **ODOM technology** for movement tracking - **IMU sensors** for stable directional control So, I was wrong, it does use the other sensors so I guess it’s down to fine tuning vs a singular technology. ---

Slight correction. This initial release of PPVS does NOT utilize the cameras in estimating or tracking position. It is strictly based on odometer (distance tracking) and IMU (heading and deviation detection) only. The cameras are planned to be included in a future version. ---

oooooooooh, ok. So i was correct-ish (for now). 😄 Thanks for the info ---

They just posted this and it seems relevant to the conversation.

That’s actually a pretty cool video. Considering what **[rgloverii](https://forum.yarbo.com/u/rgloverii)** stated earlier, once they get to a solid build that utilized all the sensors in a smart manner, it should be pretty awesome. ---
