Rutgers University, Department of Computer Science Technical Report 712; Piscataway, New Jersey, filed February 2015.
In contrast to autonomous driving solutions purely based on artificial intelligence, this article discusses an alternative for autonomous cars, which involves remote over-the-network driving. The progress in ITS technology, especially in wireless networks and robotic control theory, allows envisioning tele-operated cars that are equally effective in navigating roads and highways to cars controlled by an on-board human driver. This article also examines the challenges that remote driving needs to overcome and possible solutions before turning this technology into reality.
