at least one sensor in electronic communication with the onboard hardware processor, the at least one sensor configured to detect visual data about a road on which the vehicle is traveling and transmitting the visual data to the onboard hardware processor;
a wireless transmitter; and
a wireless receiver,
wherein the onboard hardware processor is configured to:
search for a remote server from a plurality of available remote servers,
verify an identity of the remote server,
in response to the identity of the remote server being verified, transmit a remote intervention request to the remote server via the wireless transmitter in response to an operation of the vehicle being suspended due to the onboard hardware processor detecting that the visual data is missing a marker object or includes an indeterminate object along a planned route,
output a command to stop the vehicle at its current location while waiting for a response from the remote server,
transmit the visual data to the remote server,
receive the response from the remote server in response to the remote intervention request via the wireless receiver, wherein the remote server is configured to generate and output the response by connecting to one or more external traffic knowledge bases providing current local traffic information so as to aid the remote server in locating the marker object or identifying the indeterminate object, and
act upon the response, the acting resulting in a control signal to update the operation of the vehicle.
