    Abstract: Methods and systems for a remote transportation system including a first autonomous vehicle, at least one second autonomous vehicle and a remote transportation server are provided. The at least one second autonomous vehicle includes non-transitory computer readable media and one or more processors configured by programming instructions on the non-transitory computer readable media to: receive a request for tow service from the remote transportation server, wherein the request includes a location of the first autonomous vehicle; locate and identify the first autonomous vehicle based on the request; create a communicate link between the first autonomous vehicle and the second autonomous vehicle; select at least one of a centralized towing method and a projection-based towing method based on the request; and perform autonomous towing of the first autonomous vehicle based on the selected of the at least one of the centralized towing method and the projection-based towing method.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for an On-Demand Autonomy (ODA) system are provided. A method includes: receiving a request for ODA service from the Fv, wherein the request includes a location of the Fv; when the Lv is within a first distance of the location of the Fv: identifying the Fv within a scene of an environment of the Lv; identifying an orientation of the Fv within the scene of the environment of the Lv; and determining a second location for the Lv to begin the ODA service; when the Lv is within a second distance of the second location, determining a closeness of other vehicles within a second scene of the environment of the Lv; confirming the orientation of the Fv in the second scene; performing a handshake method with the Fv to create a virtual link between the Lv and the Fv; and performing at least one of pulling and parking platooning methods using the created virtual link.
