A method for remotely stopping a vehicle configured to operate autonomously or semi-autonomously. The method includes providing an electromechanical remote stop system, applying a control signal to the vehicle with the electromechanical remote stop system, and observing an errant behavior of the vehicle. The method includes actuating the electromechanical remote stop system after observing the errant behavior, ceasing applying the control signal based on actuating the electromechanical remote stop system, and applying a first braking force due to the ceasing applying the control signal. The method includes applying a second braking force due to the ceasing applying the control signal. Actuating the electromechanical remote stop system, and thus, applying the first braking force and the second braking force, occurs at a location exterior to the vehicle.
A method for remotely stopping a vehicle configured to operate autonomously or semi-autonomously comprising:
The method of claim 19, wherein, during the override, the electromechanical remote stop system applies the second braking force and prohibits a main controller from applying the second braking force.
