Does your phone's GPS work in a tunnel? What happens if GPS ever gets jammed (or worse, spoofed)?

Aviation also doesn't exclusively rely on GNSS positioning, so why should train protection, given that it's also extremely safety critical?

My car's GPS does, using dead reckoning.

Trains can also use dead reckoning.

/me checks notes, I've heard that they move on inflexible things called "rails" that almost never change the location.
