Abstract
Techniques for providing remote guidance to a vehicle operating in an environment, by an operator located in the environment, are described herein. The operator can include a safety observer configured to observe one or more vehicles operating in the environment and may identify a scenario that requires a modification to a vehicle operation (e.g., stop forward movement, change direction of travel, modify a maximum speed, etc.). The operator may access a graphical user interface (GUI) via an operator computing device, and may input a constraint to modify the vehicle operation. The vehicle computing system may receive a control signal including the constraint, and may modify a vehicle trajectory based on the constraint. The vehicle computing system may later determine that a condition associated with the constraint is satisfied, and may continue vehicular operation in absence of the constraint.
