1. A system for recording user operation data and vehicle operation data for a remotely controlled vehicle, the system comprising:
- a user operation data recorder remote to the remotely controlled vehicle, the user operation data recorder having a first memory configured to record the user operation data, the user operation data comprising outgoing operation commands that affect operation of the remotely controlled vehicle, said outgoing operation commands (1) received from a remote controller of the remotely controlled vehicle and (2) transmitted to the remotely controlled vehicle;
a vehicle operation data recorder on-board the remotely controlled vehicle, the vehicle operation data recorder having a second memory configured to record vehicle operation data, the vehicle operation data comprising incoming operation commands that affect operation of the remotely controlled vehicle, said incoming operation commands received by the remotely controlled vehicle from the remote controller of the remotely controlled vehicle; and
one or more processors that compare the user operation data and the vehicle operation data for identifying discrepancies which comprise (1) differences between the outgoing operation commands and the incoming operation commands, or (2) differences between the incoming operation commands and vehicle status data.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided herein for recording operation history of a remotely controlled vehicle. The recorded operation history may comprise outgoing operation commands sent from a remote controller of a remotely controlled vehicle, as well as incoming operation commands received by the remotely controlled vehicle. The recorded operation history may further comprise vehicle status data, such as data related to an operation process of the remotely controlled vehicle. The recorded operation history of a vehicle may be used to analyze a behavior of the vehicle.

19. A device for recording user operation data for a remotely controlled vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a memory off-board the remotely controlled vehicle and configured to record user operation data, the user operation data comprising outgoing operation commands that affect operation of the remotely controlled vehicle, said outgoing operation commands (1) received from a remote controller of the remotely controlled vehicle and (2) transmitted to the remotely controlled vehicle, wherein the user operation data recorded by the memory is inaccessible for modification. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A device for recording vehicle operation data for a remotely controlled vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a memory configured to record vehicle operation data, the vehicle operation data comprising incoming operation commands that affect operation of the remotely controlled vehicle, said incoming operation commands received by the remotely controlled vehicle from the remote controller of the remotely controlled vehicle, wherein the vehicle operation data recorded by the memory is inaccessible for modification in response to the vehicle operation data recorder entering an accident mode that prevents updates to the memory upon being alerted that one or more accident conditions are detected. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method for analyzing a behavior of a remotely controlled vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a user operation data recorder remote to the remotely controlled vehicle, user operation data comprising outgoing operational commands that affect operation of the remotely controlled vehicle, said outgoing operation commands received with a remote controller of the remotely controller vehicle and transmitted to the remotely controlled vehicle; receiving, from a vehicle operation data recorder on-board the remotely controlled vehicle, vehicle operation data comprising (1) incoming operational commands that affect operation of the remotely controlled vehicle, the incoming operational commands received from the remote controller, or (2) vehicle status data relating to one or more environmental parameters or operation processes of the vehicle; and comparing, with aid of one or more processors, the user operation data and the vehicle operation data, thereby identifying discrepancies which comprise (1) differences between the outgoing operation commands and the incoming operation commands or (2) differences between the incoming operation commands and the vehicle status data. - View Dependent Claims (30)
