Abstract: One variation of a method for transferring control of an autonomous vehicle to a remote operator includes: accessing a specification for triggering manual control of autonomous vehicles; identifying a road segment, within a geographic region, exhibiting characteristics defined by the specification; and associating a location of the road segment, represented in a navigation map, with a remote operator trigger. The method also includes, at the autonomous vehicle operating within the geographic region: autonomously navigating along a route; transmitting a request for manual assistance to the remote operator in response to approaching the location associated with the remote operator trigger; transmitting sensor data to a remote operator portal associated with the remote operator; and executing a navigational command received from the remote operator via the remote operator portal; and resuming autonomous navigation along the route after passing the location.
