receiving a plurality of image streams, each image stream corresponding to a respective vehicle from the plurality of vehicles being assigned to be controlled by a remote operating client;
generating a single display image stream by extracting semantically relevant aspects of each image stream corresponding to the respective vehicles and consolidating the extracted aspects into a unified image representation that excludes non-relevant aspects not extracted from the plurality of image streams;
receiving, from the remote operating client, a vehicle operation instruction in response to the single display image stream being displayed by the remote operating client; and
transmitting, to at least one vehicle from the plurality of vehicles, the operation instruction to manipulate operation of the at least one vehicle.
