Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for dynamic remote control reconfiguration based on proximity to a vehicle. A system includes a processor configured to provide a remote vehicle controller a varied level of vehicle driving control, to drive a vehicle via the controller, responsive to a determination of the remote vehicle controller location relative to the vehicle. The controllerinterface may be visually adaptable based on a particular designated style of control, including, for example, in-vehicle control, near-vehicle control and far-from-vehicle control.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to a method and apparatus for dynamic remote control reconfiguration based on proximity to a vehicle. Background technique [0002] There is a continuing push in the automotive industry to develop and mainstream autonomous vehicles. These self-driving vehicles will typically operate without any direct driver control, and these self-driving vehicles are at the forefront of widespread adoption. [0003] A fully autonomous vehicle may not be equipped with a vehicle driving interface (similar to the steering wheel, gear stick and pedals included in current vehicles). However, there will be many times when manual control or supervised autonomous control is required, such as when loading / unloading vehicles from trucks, when during or after factory assembly, when in a storage facility, or when due to some autonomous guidance When a module fails. [0004] One solution is to provide the autonomous vehicle with tr...
