Regulating Remote Operation and Teleoperation

In complex or unpredictable urban scenarios, some autonomous vehicles rely on remote human operators for guidance and intervention. This trend introduces new regulatory needs around operator training, response times, and legal liability. The UK’s Code of Practice for automated vehicle trialling sets out clear teleoperation standards, addressing these emerging concerns. Establishing such guidelines ensures that remote operations are both effective and accountable, supporting the safe integration of AVs in city environments.
