Zusammenfassung:	In an embodiment, an autonomous vehicle system includes an autonomous vehicle (10). The autonomous vehicle (10) includes a communications system (60) configured to communicate with a base station (12), and a control system (36) communicatively coupled to the communications system (60), the control system (36) comprising a processor (50). The processor (50) is configured to receive driving commands from the base station (12), execute the driving commands to drive the autonomous vehicle, and execute (118) a vehicle controller-to-subsystems latency protocol to determine a communications latency between a vehicle controller (49) and vehicle subsystems, and to stop the autonomous vehicle (10) if the communications latency exceeds a user-configurable latency value, wherein the vehicle controller (49) and vehicle subsystem are disposed in the autonomous vehicle (10).
