It wouldn't. Wheels slip in the wet, they develop flat areas with differential friction, minor differences in wheel circumference would soon add up over long distances, and all dimensions change with temperature.
But fiberoptic gyro navigation is already a thing, and has been for decades. It's not super cheap, but it's cheap enough for an industrial application like this one. So I'm not sure what problem is being solved here.
