Abstract
A method of automatically driven transportation vehicles (AV) that are tele-operated driving (TOD) in cases when the AV is not able to solve a situation due to unclear traffic conditions. Because TOD sessions arise from special, unclear and relatively rare circumstances and apply measures which go against normal traffic rules or normal behaviour expected from an AV, based on the solution, a transportation vehicle informs other AV's in the vicinity of the TOD session. Other transportation vehicles use the information on the TOD session to aid their situational awareness and driving.
