Now I'm imagining a guy whose job is to sit all day in a simulator vehicle, 'teleporting' from one stranded Waymo to the next and taking it around school buses and manhole covers, parallel parking, etc. I kind of think that is viable. Replace thirty regular drivers with one. That kind of model doesn't look too far off.
