- monk_e_boy 9y agoI think they have considered that Remote driver with xbox controller who controls a car every 1,000 miles.... one person per 1,000 cars? Or your idea of 1,000 drivers for 1,000 cars. Hm....
- ghaff 9y agoWell, that assumes that solving whatever problem can be handled by a remote driver with no situational awareness of what's going on can plug in 5 minutes later and deal with things. That's not necessarily unreasonable for handling rare and non-urgent events but it's a lot different from having an alert backup driver. (Of course, if you need an alert backup driver, there's no benefit to autonomous systems once you get past the testing stage.)

- jayd16 9y agoHow could it be cheaper to have a driver in each car instead someone watching 8 videos at once? They'll probably want cabin cams anyway so you wouldn't even save that expense.
