This document summarizes an article about the future of autonomous vehicle fleets and transportation. It describes a fleet of independent self-driving vehicles that are largely controlled by decentralized algorithms and monitored by various stakeholders. In situations where the algorithms cannot respond, humans may be called upon either as a designated driver inside the vehicle or as a remote operator. The fleet aims to provide transportation as a service using autonomous vehicles.

“The Autonomous Car Fleet consists of
independent vehicles largely controlled by
decentralized algorithms. Watchdog
processes from myriad stakeholders
monitor the fleet. When algorithms are
unable to respond to a situation, humans
are called upon—a designated driver
inside an actual vehicle, or a
teleoperator.”
