The method comprises the step of providing a communications protocol for wireless communication. Providing wireless communication between the remote control, which is a mobile device 14, and a control system 18 of the vehicle 10, wherein the messages 22, 24 are specified in the protocol. Providing a dead mans switch 26 (also in figures 2 to 4) for the mobile device, operable by a user 12. Operating the motor vehicle by remote control as long as the user engages with the dead-mans switch, and as long as the communication protocol is agreed upon by both the mobile device and the control device of the vehicle. This invention provides a safe method for operating a vehicle remotely, as it ensures that if there was a failure in communication or the operator was no long present or release the switch, the vehicle would stop operating. The communication protocol may include health and status information of the mobile device. The communication can also consist of screen coordinate and manoeuver data.
