Abstract:
A remote driving taxi system provides a mobility service using remote driving taxis that are driven by remote drivers. Each of the remote driving taxis includes a display lamp configured to indicate whether the remote driving taxi is currently available. Management information includes use states of the remote driving taxis and assignment states between the remote driving taxis and the remote drivers. The remote driving taxi system puts on the display lamp of the remote driving taxi to which the remote driver has already been assigned and that is currently available, based on the management information. Further, the remote driving taxi system puts off the display lamp of the remote driving taxi to which the remote driver has already been assigned and that is currently unavailable, based on the management information.
