I’m not convinced ai driving can even work without GAI. Seems like a logical next step to the gigantic yak shave that is autonomous driving.

  Both Cruise and Waymo have human backup in case of unexpected edge cases. I suspect they are going to be needed for quite some time to come.

    Waymo removed it's backup drivers years ago... https://spectrumnews1.com/ap-top-news/2020/10/08/waymo-removing-backup-drivers-from-its-autonomous-vehicles https://spectrumnews1.com/ap-top-news/2020/10/08/waymo-remov... https://www.azfamily.com/2022/08/29/waymo-launches-its-self-driving-service-without-backup-drivers https://www.azfamily.com/2022/08/29/waymo-launches-its-self-... There was also a waymo press released this year that stated all rides in Arizona are now backup driver free, although I can't find it.

      They removed the human from the car. There’s still humans to recover from the edge cases. I don’t know if they actually remote control the cars or if they have to send a driver though.

        When I tried waymo a month or two ago a remote "driver" took over. When we called the support center about it later they told us that it's not them literally taking over the controls, but only giving some additional guidance to the system.
