METHOD OF SUPERVISED OPERATION OF A VEHICLE WITH AUTONOMOUS DRIVE CAPABILITY

The invention relates to a method of operating an autonomous vehicle in a supervised autonomous mode. A supervised autonomous mode can include the steps of receiving a vehicle data from a vehicle, presenting vehicle data at a remote station, receiving a supervisor input from a supervisor input device at the remote station, converting the supervisor input into a nudge for the motion planner of the vehicle associated with the received first set of vehicle data, wherein the nudge at least includes information on how to modify one or more elements of the cost function of the motion planner and transmitting the nudge from the remote station to the motion planner such that the nudge at least temporarily updates a cost function based model of the motion planner based on the nudge
