Scott Manley explains how the Global Positioning System works and how civilian GPS accuracy improved from 100 meters to under a meter.
Civilian GPS was originally supposed to have a precision of 100meters, nowadays it's good within 1 meter, and some small aircraft can use this precision to land entirely on autopilot. There's a lot of things that made this possible, on one part new technology, and on the other simply removing road blocks.

Recommended as an engaging and clear explanation of the history, mechanics, and unexpected accuracy of the Global Positioning System.
