監(jiān)管者如何看待無人駕駛汽車在開放公路行駛依舊未知。這很大程度取決于遠(yuǎn)程控制司機干預(yù)的頻率。如果遠(yuǎn)程人工干預(yù)頻率不高，則實時監(jiān)管Pod的模式可能會被接受。一樣，Pod進(jìn)入市場可能與無人飛機進(jìn)入市場的模式相似。開始，監(jiān)管者會禁止無人機在超出遠(yuǎn)程操控員視野范圍之外的地區(qū)飛行。但是，當(dāng)飛行操作經(jīng)歷證明這樣的飛行是安全的時候，就開放了?，F(xiàn)在，一人遠(yuǎn)程操控多家無人飛機的飛行測試已經(jīng)獲得監(jiān)管者準(zhǔn)許。

測試了限制區(qū)域版本的Pod，Emride公司現(xiàn)在開發(fā)地方性道路通行的Pod。如果政策允許，計劃2023年推出適用高速公路，帶遠(yuǎn)程操作者的Pod。盡管Pod在封閉范圍內(nèi)速度被限制在30km/h，為了協(xié)助遠(yuǎn)程多輛監(jiān)控，應(yīng)用在公共路段的Pod會以更快的速度行進(jìn)和安裝更強大、遠(yuǎn)距離傳感器。所有這些無人駕駛交通工具，如果成功的話，不僅變革貨物配送的方式，還有可能“Top Gear”將有一場出名的奇怪比賽：當(dāng)無人駕駛無需速度監(jiān)管的時候，Stig駕駛傳統(tǒng)貨車與電子系統(tǒng)操控Falck開發(fā)的Pod之間對決。
