If the car is not able to safely operate without constant human involvement then it definitionally requires a person on board.
If losing cellular service causes it to stop, then in emergencies you're pretty much guaranteeing a large number of roadblocks for emergency services, on top of their existing hazards to emergency services when operating in ideal environments.

See above, re: if your car can't even pull over and park safely on its own it has no business being on the street.

- hacoo 3y agoThe idea is that remote operators help get the car unstuck, but the car should always be able to avoid collisions on its own. I think these cars are supposed to pull over as well instead of blocking traffic. Key word here being “supposed to”, of course problems occur all the time. Also once a car gets stuck, pulling over is hard because… it’s stuck.
