Autonomous automobiles are expected to be introduced in increasingly complex increments until the system is able to navigate without human interaction. However, humanity is uncomfortable with relying on algorithms to make security critical decisions, which often have moral dimensions. Many robotic systems keep humans in the decision making loop due to their unsurpassed ability to perceive contextual information in ways we find relevant. It is likely that we will see transportation systems with no direct human supervision necessary,but these systems do not address our worry about moral decisions. Until we are able to embed moral agency in digital systems, human actors will be the only agents capable of making decisions with security-critical and moral components. Additionally, in order for a human to be in the position that we can have confidence in their decision, they must be situationally aware of the environment in which the decision will be made.Virtual reality as a medium can achieve this by allowing a person to be telepresent elsewhere. A telepresence dispatch system for autonomous transportation vehicles is proposed that places emphasis on situational awareness so that humans can properly be in the decision making loop. Pre-trial, in-trial, and post-trial metrics are gathered that emphasize human health and monitor situational awareness through traditional and novel approaches.
