Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for providing virtual towing services from a towing vehicle to a towed vehicle. The device transmits a message indicating an offer to provide virtual towing services to the towed vehicle. The device activates a virtual towing mode based on acceptance of the offer. In the virtual towing mode, the device determines a pathway to a repair destination for the towing vehicle together with towed vehicle. The device determines a waypoint and a speed for the towing vehicle along the pathway based on a joint safety assessment of the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle and controls its movements accordingly. The device determines waypoint information and speed information for the towed vehicle based on a transformation of the waypoint and the speed from a first coordinate system of the towing vehicle to a second coordinate system of the towed vehicle.
