1. An autonomously guided vehicle comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the autonomously guided vehicle at least to:
provide an indication indicating that positioning accuracy information associated with at least one potential future position of the autonomously guided vehicle is to be provided, wherein the at least one potential future position comprises a position not yet occupied by the autonomously guided vehicle;
based on providing the indication, receive the positioning accuracy information associated with the at least one potential future position of the autonomously guided vehicle; and
determine a route to a target destination based on the received accuracy information associated with the at least one potential future position of the autonomously guided vehicle, wherein the determining comprises:
if the positioning accuracy information associated with the at least one potential future position of the autonomously guided vehicle indicates positioning accuracy greater than a threshold, the route is determined to comprise the at least one potential future position of the autonomously guided vehicle; or
if the positioning accuracy information associated with the at least one potential future position of the autonomously guided vehicle indicates positioning accuracy lower than the threshold, the route is determined to comprise at least one future position which does not correspond to the at least one potential future position associated with the positioning accuracy information; and
utilizing the determined route for guidance of the autonomously guided vehicle to the target destination.
