We are quickly moving into a future where there will be self-driving vehicles. Soon. Just a little more. Any time now. Annnd.....No wait just some more. Lol.

This idea is a little intermediary to that. Imagine a central station full of computers. Operators are sitting in those computers, and there are steering wheels in front of them, like videogames. They are driving a number of vehicles, remotely, from this Central.

It could be for example, for Uber drivers or taxis.

It would be required reliable means of communication and sensors on each car for this to be possible.

What advantages would this yield?

Well, one could jump to another car, on the other side of the city, in the blink of an eye. The driivers would work in air-conditioner, and could switch places easily. There could be canteen and resting places in the office. From a company's standpoint, they could be more easily coordinated and monitored too, I suppose.
