Teleoperation of autonomous vehicles

This invention describes how an autonomous vehicle can ask for remote human control. The vehicle continuously checks the quality of its internet connection, specifically its available bandwidth. If the connection is strong enough, it sends a request for remote control along with its sensor data, such as video, images, or proximity information, to a remote computer system. This allows a human operator to take over driving when needed, ensuring the data transmission is reliable.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread 5G deployment. The improved bandwidth and lower latency of modern cellular networks make reliable real-time teleoperation of vehicles more feasible now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, vehicle integration
