My understanding is that it's not live remote driving. When the system doesn't have enough confidence in an environment, it asks for remote assistance to label objects and manually add enough data so that it can resume route planning.
You can see a little of it in action in this ride:

Even in remote assistance mode, the car already has at least a short path planned any time it's moving.
- mcot2 6y agoThere is also a cruise automation video showing a drive through SF where this same type of situation comes up. I believe both systems rely on HD maps and the route is planned based on the vehicles position relative to the very precise maps. If a large enough obstacle is in the way of the planned route it will disengage to the safety driver to plan a new route around the obstacle.
