Abstract
A driverless vehicle may include a processor, a sensor, a network interface, and a memory having stored thereon processor-executable instructions. The driverless vehicle may be configured to obtain a stream of sensor signals including sensor data related to operation of the driverless vehicle from the sensor and/or the network interface. The driverless vehicle may be configured to determine a confidence level associated with operation of the driverless vehicle from the sensor data, and store the confidence level and at least a portion of the sensor data. The driverless vehicle may also be configured to transmit via the network interface a request for teleoperator assistance, and the request may include the portion of the sensor data and the confidence level.
