There's no human driver in the car. At most, the cars can stop/pull over and ask for remote navigation from humans (but not remote operation).
- CalRobert 3y agoHow do you know there's no remote operation?
- AlotOfReading 3y agoBecause they send people out to physically recover the vehicle if it gets too stuck. They wouldn't do that if a human could just drive it out.
- natch 3y agoBoth can be true. In some cases the remote driver can drive it, in other cases it requires physical presence.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 3y agoWhy would you believe that? How do you know human operators don't type pages of results manually every time you do a Google search?
- CrampusDestrus 3y agoIf waymo's entire fleet was operated by real time remote drivers (extremely dangerous because of latench) we would know already
- jcynix 3y agoGranted, there are some niche applications where autonomous vehicles exist. And some level x assisted driving on prepared roads. But I was talking about "real self driving" cars, i.e. cars on any street in any city or even in rural areas. And I still don't see them anywhere, nor do I see them coming in the near future, expect in some tech dreams.
