 International Women’s Day Trivia

Q: Why is Dr. Gladys West an important figure in automotive history?

A: Dr. Gladys West was responsible for developing the Global Positioning System or as we know it, GPS.  As former officer at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, Captain Godfrey Weekes, said, “As Gladys West started her career as a mathematician at Dahlgren in 1956, she likely had no idea that her work would impact the world for decades to come,” and that she did. How would we be able to experience Mercedes-Benz Navigation without her dedication to her field?
