Re: Integrating the Accelerometer
Assuming you are driving with wheels, encoders can get you almost exactly where you want to go. They measure the exact rotational travel the wheels move, and from there you can calculate your exact displacement and velocity. They (along with the gyro) are my favorite autonomous navigation sensors.
Edit: Beaten to it.
