The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will result from addressing the gap between the ride hail and vehicle rental markets via the creation of a new, more accessible “car hailing” mode of transportation. Based on technical advancements in vehicle safety and fleet logistics, car hailing technology offers the potential for direct and desirable social impacts, including: more equitable transportation that can improve quality of life and decrease cost of living; less personal vehicle ownership and less pollution as a result of more efficient vehicle fleet utilization; centralized, managed parking, which could free land for pedestrians, housing, and businesses precisely where it is needed most; and significant job creation due to the need for remote human vehicle operators. These societal and environmental benefits also directly translate into increased economic competitiveness of the United States: more equitable and available transportation for workers enables businesses to compete more successfully in the global markets, and improved quality of life and wage opportunities leads to more productive workers.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will help enable scalable commercial deployment of vehicle teleoperation technology and services by further developing and improving previous advances in robotics control, perception, and safety engineering. There are two primary objectives for the Phase II research. The first is to develop new techniques and methodologies in safety engineering that will enable the systematic testing and safety assurances necessary for large-scale public road deployments of vehicle teleoperation technology. The second is to revise and improve the novel control and perception technologies developed during the Phase I project to satisfy new requirements derived from the company’s safety engineering advances. The results of the Phase II research will include robotics control and perception capabilities that significantly advance the state of the art, as well as a new set of safety engineering practices and methodologies that could serve as a foundation for the emerging industry of vehicle teleoperation and autonomous vehicle safety.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目的广播/商业影响将是通过建立一种新的，更容易访问的“汽车冰话”运输方式来解决乘车冰雹和车辆租赁市场之间的差距。根据车辆安全和车队物流方面的技术进步，汽车狂风技术为直接和理想的社会影响提供了潜力，包括：更公平的运输，可以改善生活质量并降低生活成本；由于更有效的车队利用率，个人车的所有权和污染较少；集中式的托管停车位，可以为行人，住房和企业提供最需要的地方的土地；由于需要远程人工车运营商，因此创造了重大的就业机会。这些社会和环境利益还直接转化为美国的经济竞争力的提高：工人更公平，可用的运输使企业能够在全球市场上更成功地竞争，改善生活质量和工资机会会导致更具生产力的工人。该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）阶段项目将有助于进一步的商业服务，并促进汽车的发展，并促进汽车的服务，并促进了汽车的技术和服务，并在工具上促进了汽车技术和服务，并促进了汽车的技术和服务，并将其促进工具的服务，并实现了工具的发展，并且可以实现工具的技术，并可以实现工具的技术，从而实现了工具的技术，并可以实现工程技术的发展。和安全工程。 II期研究有两个主要目标。首先是开发安全工程中的新技术和方法，这些技术和方法将使大规模公共道路部署的系统测试和安全保证能够进行车辆远程电视技术所必需的安全保证。第二个是修改和改善在I阶段项目中开发的新颖控制和感知技术，以满足公司安全工程进步所产生的新要求。第二阶段研究的结果将包括机器人技术的控制和感知能力，这些功能可显着提高艺术的状态，以及一套新的安全工程实践和方法，可以作为新兴行业的汽车远距离行业和自动驾驶汽车安全行业的基础。该奖项通过评估了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估了范围，并概述了CR的支持。
