Method for assisting an autonomous motor vehicle, comprising the following steps: - using an autonomous motor vehicle equipped with an automatic driving device suitable for deciding on handling actions to be performed on said vehicle in order to autonomously drive said vehicle on a route, - connecting the automatic driving device to a computer server (SERV) of a remote command centre (CENT), which connection is made through a wireless communication network, - determining, by way of the computer server (SERV), the geographical position of the vehicle, - predictively detecting a critical event on the route, which detection leads to the driving device being taken over by an operator at the command centre so that said operator temporarily takes control of the vehicle remotely and decides on handling actions, characterized in that: - the predictive detection of the critical event results from the combined analysis of data by the computer server (SERV), which data include: -- data about the state of the traffic lanes used on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data about traffic conditions on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data about weather conditions on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data from sensors (C1, C2, C3) installed on the vehicle, - the predictive detection of the critical event is performed upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, before the driving device detects said event on its own by means of the sensors (C1, C2, C3), and where a critical event situated upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle means that this event is located in front of said vehicle, between said vehicle and a point of arrival on the route. - using an autonomous motor vehicle equipped with an automatic driving device suitable for deciding on handling actions to be performed on said vehicle in order to autonomously drive said vehicle on a route, - connecting the automatic driving device to a computer server (SERV) of a remote command centre (CENT), which connection is made through a wireless communication network, - determining, by way of the computer server (SERV), the geographical position of the vehicle, - predictively detecting a critical event on the route, which detection leads to the driving device being taken over by an operator at the command centre so that said operator temporarily takes control of the vehicle remotely and decides on handling actions, - the predictive detection of the critical event results from the combined analysis of data by the computer server (SERV), which data include: -- data about the state of the traffic lanes used on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data about traffic conditions on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data about weather conditions on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data from sensors (C1, C2, C3) installed on the vehicle, - the predictive detection of the critical event is performed upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, before the driving device detects said event on its own by means of the sensors (C1, C2, C3), -- data about the state of the traffic lanes used on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data about traffic conditions on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data about weather conditions on the route upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, and -- data from sensors (C1, C2, C3) installed on the vehicle, - the predictive detection of the critical event is performed upstream of the geographical position of the vehicle, before the driving device detects said event on its own by means of the sensors (C1, C2, C3),
