  • Safeguarded tele-operation for autonomous driving
    Patent number: 12656774
    Abstract: A system may receive a video stream from a camera of a vehicle in a transportation network. The system may also receive an input indicating an acceleration and a steering angle of a simulated lead vehicle. The system may determine a pose of the simulated vehicle relative to a home pose based on the acceleration input and the steering input, and display an overlay of a representation of the simulated vehicle in the video stream at pixel coordinates based on the pose. The system may determine, from the pixel coordinates, spatial coordinates of the simulated vehicle in the transportation network, wherein the spatial coordinates are relative to at least one of the transportation network or the camera. The system may transmit the spatial coordinates to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to follow a path based on the spatial coordinates.
