There are many long-term risks with the rise of self driving cars, but this doesn't seem like one of them. It was particularly novel to the fire department because it was a self driving car, but practically no different than a double parked car that a driver isn't in (which I do see from time-to-time). Long-term this seems like a very solvable problem given the ability to remotely operate the car.

> given the ability to remotely operate the car. I think it's going to prove a challenge for these remote operators to connect to a car, with no situational awareness, and then quickly determine the correct course of action remotely. I wonder if these companies have tested these scenarios, and their remote drivers. Do they do any testing at all? Do they do "check rides" with these remote drivers? I'd really like to know what side of this entire operation actually looks like.
