Using 5G for Teleoperation of Autonomous Vehicles

Teleoperation for autonomous and driverless vehicles requires reliable, low-latency connectivity. With the growing traction of 5G networks, we dive deeper into the technology to analyze how it serves teleoperation needs. 5G and Autonomous Vehicles Teleoperation One of the first questions we get when we start talking about teleoperation grade connectivity is “Doesn’t 5G provide the […]

Autonomous Vehicle Deployment: pick up, drop off, and great user experience

With autonomous vehicle deployment growing around the globe, government officials are becoming increasingly confident in self-driving cars. This is evidenced by the recent spate of autonomous fleets approved for travel without safety drivers on board in multiple cities. Some companies have grown bullish enough about their driverless vehicles to put a price on a ride.  […]

Teleoperation Interfaces: Challenges and guidelines for Autonomous Vehicles Research Summary

It is widely accepted that teleoperation plays a critical role in deploying large-scale autonomous fleets. It is also widely acknowledged that remote operation or supervision is not a trivial task. In this article, we provide highlights of an in-depth study on the human interface challenges of teleoperation: “Driving from a Distance: Challenges and Guidelines for […]

Delivery robot deployment models: autonomous vs. remote operation

Delivery robots on sidewalks from the US to Japan are showcasing the viability of autonomous vehicles to the masses. They are now the number one driverless vehicle use case in terms of deployed units, with commercial deployments active worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic fueled an increase in last-mile delivery services, but even looking ahead, growth is […]

Teleoperation and cellular coverage: why one modem is not enough

Robotaxis, driverless shuttles, sidewalk delivery robots – all have made huge progress in autonomous driving, but they all also still need to have the ability for a remote human operator to supervise them – and when needed, intervene. All driverless use cases require teleoperation, and teleoperation relies on public cellular networks coverage.  A quick reminder […]
