Summary

Removed 'remote' qualifier from references to commands in access control documentation

Security assessment

Terminology changes from 'remote commands' to 'commands' do not introduce or modify security features. The update appears to simplify naming conventions without altering access control mechanics or addressing security flaws.

-When you use the remote commands feature to start a command execution, AWS IoT Device Management will fetch the command and command parameters from the incoming request. It then requires permissions to access AWS IoT FleetWise resources to validate the request and generate the payload. The payload is then sent to the vehicle by AWS IoT Device Management over MQTT to the command request topic that your vehicle has subscribed to.
