A GPS Blackout Would Shut Down the World
Briefly

The rise in GPS jamming and spoofing poses severe threats to global systems reliant on the navigation technology. A total GPS blackout would spur immediate chaos, particularly in transportation with increased traffic incidents. Additionally, sectors relying on precise positioning and timing, like aviation and financial markets, would experience significant disruptions. Experts suggest the U.S. has lagged in developing backup systems to mitigate these risks, contrasting with other nations like China that have improved their reliance on alternatives. The potential fallout includes losing billions in economic activity and collapsing communication infrastructures.
If it was a catastrophic moment that happened at a blink of an eye and we lost GPS entirely, you would see this global seizure of everything that moves.
You would see traffic jams, a lot more traffic accidents, because transportation is going to see the first most immediate impact.
