<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"proxima-nova",serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.2pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Driverless cars will need to be operated remotely under some circumstances. For example, a remote human operator may need to take over
control when a problem arises that challenges the vehicle’s driving software (such as a person temporarily directing traffic with hand signals, or unusual weather conditions such as fog). The remote operator will need to control the car, potentially in busy
traffic, using information conveyed “second hand” from the scene. This project examines the factors influencing situation awareness in these contexts. These are now urgent research priorities given the likelihood that autonomous vehicles will soon become widespread.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
