Abstract
A method of remotely controlling a vehicle involves creating an exterior situation image for the vehicle (1) using a sensor system (2) for detecting the surroundings of the vehicle. A trajectory of the vehicle is specified by a driver assistance system (3) of the vehicle. The exterior situation image and the trajectory are transmitted wirelessly to a remote control (7) that is arranged spatially separately from the vehicle. The vehicle is controlled by the remote control based on the trajectory and the exterior situation image.
