I honestly think that's a reasonable reply.
It's pretty clear that with Waymo the first response is to fail safe: when in doubt, pull over and ask for help. I was expecting that the help could include a semi-assisted remote override mode. The remote support would not be turning the wheel and pressing the gas, but giving it higher-level overrides, like "do a u-turn here". So in that case if it loses touch it's reasonable to resume traveling if it now can or once again pull over and ask for help.
