Original Abstract Submitted

In one embodiment, a system includes a driver station having a control interface, an electronic display, and a driver data communication module, and a vehicle data communication module. The vehicle data communication module receives vehicle sensor data generated by a plurality of vehicle sensors of a vehicle, and environment sensor data generated by a plurality of environment sensors within an environment of the vehicle. The driver data communication module and the vehicle data communication module are in bidirectional communication such that the vehicle data communication module wirelessly provides the vehicle sensor data and the environment sensor data to the driver data communication module, the driver data communication module renders a view of the vehicle and the environment on the electronic display, the control interface wirelessly provides control instructions to the vehicle data communication module, and the vehicle data communication module provides the control instructions to the vehicle.
