Claim 14:
15. A method for video encoding and/or transmission of live video data captured at a vehicle that is remotely driven via a wireless communication network, comprising:
capturing live video data of the vehicle's environment; encoding the captured live video data;
transmitting the encoded live video data via the wireless communication network;
and controlling the video encoding and/or the transmission, wherein the controlling controls the video encoding to optimize the video encoding of the captured live data and/or controls the transmission to optimize the transmission of the encoded live data, wherein the controlling is based on one, two or all of (i) pre-determined location information associated with a current location of the vehicle; (ii) real-time driving information associated with current driving parameters of the vehicle, and; (iii) real-time environment information associated with a current environment of the vehicle, and wherein for optimizing the video encoding of the captured live video data and/or the transmission of the encoded live video data, the control unit is further adapted for at least one of
a) defining a region-of-interest in the captured live video data for an area in front of the vehicle based on a speed of the vehicle, wherein in the region-of-interest, a higher bitrate is given in the video encoding of the captured live video data, and b) identifying a complexity of the vehicle's environment and low-pass filtering or edge filtering the captured live video data when the complexity of the vehicle's environment is high.
