Abstract
In contrast to autonomous driving solutions purely based on artificial intelligence, this article discusses an alternative for autonomous cars, which involves remote over-the-network driving. The progress in ITS technology, especially in wireless networks and robotic control theory, allows envisioning teleoperated cars that are equally effective in navigating roads and highways to cars controlled by an on-board human driver. This article also examines the challenges that remote driving needs to overcome and possible solutions before turning this technology into reality
