With self-driving cars still years away, Phantom Auto has found a new niche in teleoperating robots

Share to linkedin

Phantom Auto has developed a teleoperations system that enables human oversight of automated vehicles over cellular network. Initially marketed to major automotive manufacturers, their is being integrated into vehicles as a failsafe that can deal with edge cases or whenever human intervention is needed. But given the recently revised timelines for consumer release of robocars, its unlikely drivers will be ceding control to remote operators any time soon.

Terberg is one of Phantom Auto's first public customers, and is integrating their technology into many of its specialty vehicles, such as yard trucks. The company demonstrated a truck in Atlanta being remotely controlled over public cellular networks by an operator 2,500 miles away. At that demonstration were many potential customers, including major retailers and delivery companies that have been reaching out to them, rather than the other way around.

Heavy machinery isn't the only way Phantom Auto will make the supply chain move more quickly and cheaply. The company has been working with several retailers and services to integrate their technology with autonomous delivery robots.
