A bank of available remote human vehicle operators receives service requests to assume control of an automated vehicle via a service queue. The service queue triages remote vehicle control requests based on factors including skill level of available human vehicle operators, urgency of service requests, capabilities of available human vehicle operators, etc. Additional human vehicle operators may join a control session of an automated vehicle as observers and/or assistants to a controlling human vehicle operator. Human vehicle operators may be triaged among ongoing vehicle control sessions depending on the completion of vehicle control tasks and/or emergence of new requests from other automatic vehicles. Automatic vehicles may make service requests to the bank of available remote human vehicle operators including requested capabilities or operator skills based on data sensed regarding the environment of the vehicle.
