This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349619 titled 'AUTHORIZED REMOTE CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a vehicle navigation system that can be controlled remotely based on driving commands received from a remote control system. - The remote control system allows a manual operator to interact with an interface to navigate the vehicle through an environment. - The system can engage remote driving control if it detects a health emergency of one or more occupants of the vehicle using vehicle sensor data. - When remote driving control is engaged, the remote control system generates commands to navigate the vehicle to a specific location without requiring the occupant with the health emergency to manually drive the vehicle. - The remote control system can monitor the occupant using communicated vehicle sensor data and control remote control devices in the vehicle to provide external indication that the vehicle is being navigated remotely.


Original Abstract Submitted

Some embodiments provide a vehicle navigation system which can navigate a vehicle through an environment based on driving commands received from a remote control system based on manual operator interaction with an interface of the remote control system. Remote driving control can be engaged based on determination, via processing vehicle sensor data, of a health emergency associated with one or more occupants of the vehicle, and the remote control system can generate remote driving commands which cause the vehicle to be navigated to a particular location without requiring the occupant associated with the health emergency to manually navigate the vehicle. The remote control system can monitor the occupant via communicated vehicle sensor data and can control remote control devices included in the vehicle to provide external indication that the vehicle is being navigated according to remote driving control.
