## AI overview

This tutorial explains how to provide system-level SSH access for self-driving vehicles and other mobile IoT devices. It discusses connectivity options, bastion hosts, reverse SSH tunnels, fleet-scale access, OpenSSH, and Teleport, noting that reverse tunnels alone do not scale well.

## Source excerpt

You can SSH into self-driving robots using a reverse SSH tunnel, but this method only scales so far, and it requires more than 50 steps to set up.
