1. A computer-implemented method for communicating information between an automated vehicle and a remote terminal, comprising the steps of:
providing information to be communicated between the automated vehicle and the remote terminal;
packaging said information using a packaging unit as a sequence of N data packets, wherein each of the N data packets is provided with a unique data packet number ranging from 1 to N indicating the position of each data packet in the sequence of the N data packets;
transmitting the sequence of N data packets via a first communication link between the automated vehicle and the remote terminal and also via at least a second communication link between the automated vehicle and the remote terminal, said first and at least second communication link established over a communications network between an automated vehicle communication unit and a remote terminal communication unit;
receiving the transmitted N unique data packets at a receiving unit; and
assembling a complete sequence of the transmitted N unique data packets using an assembling unit associated with the receiving unit after each of the N unique data packets has been successfully communicated via said at least first and/or second communication link,
wherein the sequence of N data packets is transmitted via said first communication link in an order of ascending data packet numbers and via said at least second communication link in an order of descending data packet numbers.
