>Can anyone shed some light as to why is important to a achieve picosecond time synchronization?<
I don't know if I NEED millimeter-accuracy in a navigation system (and aparently, picosecond timing is required to get that millimeter-accuracy).
But if I ever go for a ride in one of these "driverless cars" I keep reading about, it will make me *feel* better if I think it is anticipating its location vis-a-vis the shoulder of the road to millimeter accuracy.
