A vehicle logistic system provides remote operation of self-propelled vehicles in the absence of a human driver. The logistic system operates with a vehicle which includes an accelerator pedal operatively connected to a longitudinal motion controller, a brake pedal operatively connected to the longitudinal motion controller, a steering wheel operatively connected to a lateral motion controller, and an automated vehicle processing module operatively connected to the longitudinal motion controller and to the lateral motion controller. The vehicle is configured to operate in different operating modes. The operating modes include a regular mode and a remote-controlled mode. The automated vehicle processing module is configured to control the longitudinal motion and lateral motion of the vehicle based on vehicle motion instructions received wirelessly from a server while the vehicle is operating in the remote control mode.
