1. A system for remote calibration and testing of a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a plurality of sensors and a data collection and transmission unit (“DCTU”), the DCTU configured to collect real-time data from the plurality of sensors and to transmit the collected real-time data to the system, the system comprising:
at least one virtual reality station configured to give a virtual vehicular experience by running a digital twin of the vehicle, the at least one virtual reality station comprising a plurality of actuators and at least one transmitter; and
a receiving station configured to establish a communication gateway between the DCTU and the at least one virtual reality station,
wherein the at least one transmitter is configured to provide feedback to the receiving station for remote calibration and testing of the vehicle.
 
4. A method for remote calibration and testing of a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a plurality of sensors and a data collection and transmission unit (“DCTU”), the method comprising:
capturing real-time data from the plurality of sensors in the vehicle using the DCTU;
establishing a communication gateway between the DCTU and at least one virtual reality station using a receiving station, the at least one virtual reality station comprising a plurality of actuators, and the at least one virtual reality station running a digital twin of the vehicle;
transmitting the captured real-time data to the receiving station;
rendering the transmitted data over the digital twin of the vehicle and the plurality of actuators in the at least one virtual reality station;
recording a behavior of the digital twin of the vehicle and the plurality of actuators; and
providing feedback to the DCTU via the receiving station for the calibration and testing of the vehicle.
