FORMER U.S. DOT LEADER JOINS TERN TO ADVANCE ITS AI-POWERED GPS ALTERNATIVE
Diana Furchtgott-Roth Appointed to Advisory Board Amid Rising Global Pressures to Accelerate Satellite-Free Navigation Technology AUSTIN, Texas, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tern, the developer of the AI-powered navigation IDPS™ (Independently Derived Positioning System), announced today that Diana Furchtgott-Roth, a nationally recognized transportation economist and former Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), has joined its Advisory Board. A long-time advocate for resilient and scalable alternatives to satellite-based positioning, Furchtgott-Roth brings decades of expertise at the intersection of transportation policy, infrastructure, and innovation. Her work at the DOT included leading national efforts to evaluate Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies in response to increasing threats to GPS from outages, spoofing, and satellite vulnerability. "Diana brings unmatched credibility and clarity on the urgent need for a GPS alternative," said Shaun Moore, Tern CEO and Co-Founder. "Her leadership will be instrumental as we expand IDPS™ across commercial automotive , fleet, defense, and infrastructure sectors." Her appointment comes at a time of escalating geopolitical pressure. U.S.-China relations are under renewed strain, not just economically through rising tariffs, but geopolitically as tensions deepen across the Indo-Pacific. These pressures underscore the vulnerability of U.S. infrastructure that remains critically dependent on satellite-based systems. As trade frictions grow, so does the likelihood of adversarial disruption, making it imperative to accelerate deployment of resilient, non-satellite-based navigation solutions. Furchtgott-Roth underscored this in The Daily Telegraph recently, writing, "Disruptions would pose an immense economic and national security threat, costing trillions of dollars daily, dwarfing any market disruptions from tariffs." She continued, "The global cost of GPS interference is too high for world governments to wait for it to fail. This is an area where like-minded governments can and should work together to develop reliable back-ups, both for economic and military security." Tern's IDPS™ uses vehicle sensors and AI to provide uninterrupted, high-accuracy navigation without GPS, GNSS, or cellular signals. The company recently completed successful testing with the Volpe Research Center, through a US Department of Transportation contract, including the first known "cold start" demonstration, accurately initializing position without any prior knowledge or external signal, a milestone long thought to be out of reach. "Tern's approach flips the model," added Moore. "Rather than patching legacy systems, we're building a new foundation for navigation that's intelligent, resilient, and ready to scale."

Media Contact: Julie Andersen | jandersen@ ABOUT TERN: Tern's patented, award-winning Independently Derived Positioning System (IDPS™) redefines navigation by using proprietary AI to interpret real-time map and sensor data, enabling precise vehicle positioning without relying on satellites. Seamlessly integrating into OEM platforms, commercial fleets, and defense systems, IDPS™ delivers unmatched reliability and safety, even in GPS-denied environments. Founded by a team of elite navigators and AI pioneers, Tern is setting the new standard for positioning technology.

PennDOT announces plans to remove Skinners Falls Bridge
WAYNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced its plans to remove a Wayne County bridge. PennDOT says the removal of the Skinners Falls Bridge is set to begin Thursday morning, starting on the New York side of the bridge. According to PennDOT, the decision to remove the bridge comes after inspections found 'critical structural failures.' In October of 2024, an inspection found the bridge superstructure in critical condition and that the superstructure had failed. The following inspection in January of this year confirmed active movement in the New York abutment and upstream truss bearing areas, PennDOT explained. PennDOT says the demolition is necessary to prevent an uncontrolled collapse and ensure public safety. Hazleton school kitchen passes inspection The parking lot and fishing access area will be unreachable for the public to use during construction, PennDOT added. PennDOT says the use of the river in the vicinity of the bridge will also be restricted during construction. Recreational users of the River are advised by PennDOT to exit the river upstream at Damascus and re-enter downstream at Narrowsburg. The precautions, listed below, put in place on April 7 will continue: Delaware River closure signage and exclusion buoys will be placed at the Cochecton-Damascus Bridge. Official signed portage will direct river users to the Narrowsburg Boat Launch. No portage in the vicinity of the bridge will be allowed due to ongoing construction activities. This stage of the Aids to Navigation (ATON) will be in place for approximately two months. PennDOT urges drivers to travel the posted speed limit, pay close attention to signs and flaggers, turn on their headlights, and avoid all distractions. In high-traffic locations, PennDOT encourages drivers to use both travel lanes to the merge point and take turns merging into the open lane.
