A method deploys a remotely-maneuverable rolling platform from a faulty self-driving vehicle (SDV). The method detects a driving problem severity level for the faulty self-driving vehicle (SDV), where the driving problem severity level describes an amount of danger that is posed to other vehicles by the faulty SDV, and assesses environmental conditions at the location of the faulty SDV. The method determines an opportune position for deploying one or more road safety flares by the faulty SDV based on the environmental conditions at the location of the faulty SDV and the driving problem severity level, and then deploys a remotely-maneuverable rolling platform, from the faulty SDV to the opportune position, based on the amount of danger that is posed to the other vehicles by the faulty SDV, where the one or more road safety flares are coupled to the remotely-maneuverable rolling platform.
