Abstract
Technologies disclosed relate to a remote intervention system for the operation of a vehicle, which can be an autonomous vehicle, a vehicle that includes driver assist features, a vehicle used for ride sharing services or the like. The system includes a remote operator receiving a request for remote intervention from a vehicle when the operation of the vehicle is suspended and sending a response to the vehicle. The vehicle can transmit visual data detected by one or more sensors on the vehicle to the remote operator. The remote operator can output a response after analyzing the visual data transmitted by the vehicle. The remote operator can be a human operator or an AI operator. The response can result in an update of the vehicle operation.
