Teleoperation

For example, ArduPilot provides a spectrum of autonomy ranging from manual control to full autopilot for autonomous vehicles.

This is as opposed to telepresence which is a less standard term and might refer to a whole range of existence or interaction that include a remote connotation.

[1][2] In 1898, Nikola Tesla demonstrated a remotely controlled boat with a patented wireless radio guidance system that he tried to market to the United States military, but was turned down.

Without remote assistance, in such situations the self-driving car would transition to a minimum risk maneuverer (MRM) which is usually to stop.

Examples of companies that provide solutions in the field of teleoperations are DriveU.auto,[7] Roboauto, Scotti.ai, Phantom.Auto, Pylot, Ottopia, Designated Driver and Soliton Systems.
