Systems and techniques for remote assistance for autonomous vehicles

This invention describes a system that helps autonomous vehicles (AVs) when they get stuck in specific locations like parking garages or loading docks. If an AV encounters an error, such as failing to park or enter a facility, it can switch from autonomous control to a human operator. The human then guides the AV through the tricky maneuver, and once the problem is resolved, the AV can resume driving itself.

Why it matters: Filed before the latest advancements in AI and machine learning could significantly enhance both the AV's ability to detect subtle error conditions and its capacity to interpret and execute complex human instructions for tricky maneuvers.
