The automotive industry is witnessing a transformative shift with the advent of remote operation systems. Ford's recent patent for an augmented reality (AR) system designed for remote operators is a testament to the growing importance of teleoperation in autonomous driving. At Soliton Systems, we have been pioneering similar remote operation (teleoperation) technology for years, working closely with our automotive and defence partners to push the boundaries of what is possible.
At Soliton, we have developed a secure teleoperation system that enables remote vehicle control via a wireless connection, adding an extra layer of safety and control for autonomous vehicles. This innovation marks a significant step forward towards the next era of autonomous transport.
Our Zao Teleoperation solution is designed to provide reliable and secure ultra-low latency live streaming over wireless networks such as 4G LTE and 5G. This technology includes a return control mechanism, enabling operators to remotely control a vehicle’s steering wheel, pedals, and other controls as needed. This capability is crucial for applications like remote parking control features and robotaxis, where precision and reliability are paramount.
One of the standout features of our system is its integration with VR headsets, including Apple's Vision Pro. This integration offers an immersive experience for remote operators, enhancing their ability to manage vehicles from a distance with greater accuracy and situational awareness. By leveraging augmented reality systems for remote operators, we are paving the way for safer and more efficient teleoperation solutions.
While Ford and Tesla are making strides in the development of robotaxis, our technology complements these advancements by providing a robust framework for remote vehicle operation. The synergy between our solutions and the broader industry trends highlights the viability and potential of teleoperation as a critical component of the future of autonomous driving.
At Soliton Systems, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in remote vehicle operation. Our ongoing innovations and partnerships ensure that we remain at the cutting edge of this exciting field, delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients and the market.
As the industry continues to evolve, the integration of advanced technologies like AR and VR in remote operation systems will become increasingly important. Soliton Systems is proud to be at the forefront of this technological revolution, providing innovative solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and control in the world of autonomous driving.
