1. A system for remote viewing and control of one or more self-driving vehicles, the system comprising:
an execution subsystem at an execution location at which a self-driving vehicle is operating, the execution subsystem configured to:
receive, from a capture assembly, data associated with at least one of the execution location and the self-driving vehicle; and
transmit the data received from the capture assembly to an operator location remote from the execution location; and
an operator subsystem at the operator location, the operator subsystem comprising:
a display assembly; and
a processor configured to:
receive the data from the execution subsystem;
operate the display assembly to generate a visual representation for at least one subset of the data received from the execution subsystem, the visual representation comprising an overlay representing the self-driving vehicle; and
transmit operational commands to the execution subsystem for execution by the self-driving vehicle.
