Sporadic lag would be a killer. Think of how often you had Zoom calls that would lag for a second or two. Now, imagine the remote driver had that lag.

If the self-driving system is kept running full-time, it can take over instantly if there's a communications dropout. That way, the car only has to stop immediately if a problematic situation happens to coincide with signal loss. Perfection is not an option in this business, so it's time to stop demanding it. If we can manage to kill something less than 30,000 people a year on the roads, the way humans currently do, we can call it a win.
- allarm 3y ago> it can take over instantly if there's a communications dropout The only way to detect a communication dropout in a packet network is with constant exchange of keep alive packets. The detection time should be within some safety margins for the maximum allowed speed of the vehicle and the computational overheads. I think we’re speaking at least 100 pps, which is unlikely to deliver on time using public Internet over the unreliable medium. tl;dr - I think it’s not currently possible.
