1. A system for operating one or more autonomous vehicles, the system comprising:
a transceiver for communication with the one or more autonomous vehicles over a wireless communication network;
a communication link to an external processing system;
a processor linked to the transceiver and to the communication link, wherein the processor includes instructions for:
receiving information over the wireless communication network from an autonomous control system integral with a particular autonomous vehicle of the one or more autonomous vehicles, wherein the received information includes an anomaly detected by the autonomous control system, wherein the anomaly is based on received information monitored by the autonomous control system regarding any of an internal state of the particular autonomous vehicle and an environment in which the particular autonomous vehicle is operating;
over the communication link:
passing control of the particular autonomous vehicle to the external processing system; and
transmitting information regarding the anomaly to the external processing system, wherein the external processing system is configured to allow a remote operator to:
assess the anomaly based on the received information;
resolve the anomaly based on the assessment; and
over the wireless communication network, return the control of the particular autonomous vehicle to the autonomous control system when the anomaly is resolved.
