Claim 16:
17. A vehicle remote control method executed by a remote control system comprising a base unit equipped in a vehicle, an extension unit that an operator carries, and a remote operation device for remotely operating the vehicle, wherein wireless communication is established between the base unit and the extension unit, wherein the remote operation device is different from the extension unit, and wherein the remote control system is configured to:
detect a relative position of the extension unit with respect to the vehicle using the extension unit and the base unit;
calculate a relative position estimated value of the extension unit with respect to the vehicle based on a first relative position of the extension unit with respect to the vehicle and a movement distance by remote control of the vehicle, the first relative position detected before start of the remote control of the vehicle;
detect a second relative position of the extension unit with respect to the vehicle when executing the remote control of the vehicle;
when the relative position estimated value and the second relative position match each other, permit the remote control of the vehicle; and
when the relative position estimated value and the second relative position do not match each other, stop the remote control of the vehicle.
