NEVS utilises phantom auto technology to improve AV safety

Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer NEVS is using technology from Phantom Auto to improve the safety of passengers in its electric autonomous vehicles (AVs). Phantom Auto’s teleoperation system allows a remote human operator to take control of the vehicle in situations which an AV cannot handle on its own - such as inclement weather, road work and other road obstructions. The remote operator sits in front of a series of screens, has a 360-degree view of the AV’s surroundings and can take control at any
