Ah, the cat is out of the proverbial bag! These cars are not really "self-driving" at all! They are merely remote-control cars with adaptive cruise and lane assist.
So it's somewhere between a Lyft and remote surgery. What happens if the car loses internet?
- Fricken 9y agoNo, they're not remote control. The human operators can't make safety-critical interventions, they won't be able to drive a robotaxi 50 mph into a tree, for example. There's an inherent liability associated with that.
- verletx64 9y ago> Ah, the cat is out of the proverbial bag! These cars are not really "self-driving" at all! ? Do you class a self driving vehicle as one without any manual controls whatsoever? In which case, you're going to be waiting a long time for your version of it, and not for tech reasons.
- komali2 9y agoI think the implication is that those call centers will be used less than 1% of the time.
