  • REMOTE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE USING VIRTUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF A VEHICLE STATE
    Publication number: 20230341852
    Abstract: In various examples, at least partial control of a vehicle may be transferred to a control system remote from the vehicle. Sensor data may be received from a sensor(s) of the vehicle and the sensor data may be encoded to generate encoded sensor data. The encoded sensor data may be transmitted to the control system for display on a virtual reality headset of the control system. Control data may be received by the vehicle and from the control system that may be representative of a control input(s) from the control system, and actuation by an actuation component(s) of the vehicle may be caused based on the control input.
    Type: Application
