Abstract
Systems and methods for disengaging or engaging autonomy remotely are provided. The autonomous vehicle may receive a request from a remote computing system associated with a remote operator. The request may require the autonomous vehicle to disengage, engage, or re-engage autonomy. The autonomous vehicle may determine whether the request is valid, and whether certain safety criteria are met. Upon determining that the request is valid and safety criteria are met, the autonomous vehicle may process the request and cause the autonomous vehicle to enter the desired state. The autonomous vehicle may send a message to the remote computing system, indicating whether or not the autonomous vehicle has entered the desired state.
