Waymo and Cruise both have remote operators who can remotely unstuck cars. AFAIK they can’t drive the cars directly, but the they can give override commands, reset software, or make the car follow a manually set path. They probably can’t make it reverse at full tilt though ;) Directly driving cars is considered very sketchy as you could have network latency spikes or dropouts at any time. That said, it’s possible the cone still prevents the car from moving at all because either: a. It creates a large enough sensor blockage to be deemed ‘unsafe’ for any movement Or b. The car thinks its been in a collision, or thinks it can’t move without ‘colliding’ with the cone further.
