Emphasis mine: > Nissan’s cubicle-based drivers aren’t emergency backups. If the car hits black ice, it’s in charge of staying on the road. There’s no feasible way to get the human into the loop in time to act. That was the first of my concerns. > But they can help out when the car encounters conditions it’s unsure how to handle. If a Nissan happened upon the construction scene from Sierhuis’ photo, it would stop and ping its control center. A human operator would look around using the car’s cameras and other sensors and issue new instructions — direct control would pose latency issues. That was the second. So it's only for "I'm not sure what to do here but it's safe for me to stop and wait" situations. And the operators would just solve the "A.I. question" given to them, not control the wheels and pedals. Thanks for the article!
