Zusammenfassung:An emergency communication system (10) for automated-vehicles includes a transceiver (14) and a controller (20). The transceiver (14) is used to communicate messages (18) from and to an automated-vehicle (12) that is classified as a non-emergency-vehicle. The controller (20) is in communication with the transceiver (14). The controller (20) is configured to receive a request (24) for an emergency-certification (30) from the automated-vehicle (12) via the transceiver (14), determine when a circumstance exists that justifies the request (24), and grant (28) the request (24) when the circumstance exists. When the request (24) is granted, the automated-vehicle (12) is authorized to operate in a manner comparable to an emergency-vehicle.
