I understand that mechanism just fine, and that counts as a form of remote control. But it's clearly not good enough for this situation which was both totally unacceptable and very, very easily resolved by anyone who could control the steering wheel and accelerator. I mean ultimately, you can try to justify this as a feature not a bug, but I would now feel far less safe getting into a Waymo knowing that they have such a poor level of control over their cars. You shouldn't find yourself stalled in the middle of a multi-line highway like that, that's just dangerous, especially when continuing and pulling over is something any human driver could do in seconds. Being limited to ad-hoc map patching is just not sufficient - there's a whole universe of bugs they might not be able to resolve in that way.
