You can get pretty far in cities in 4 to 5 miles, and highways must be a couple orders of magnitude easier. I think that's acceptable so far, no?

- sharkjacobs 3y agoI think that what you're imagining is like a driver who can let the car do its thing and just intervene now and then once every fifteen or twenty minutes. I believe that what the article is describing is a guy in front of a bank of monitors watching 15-20 cars and intervening in one or another pretty much constantly for the duration of a work shift. > As far as the ratio of remote assistance advisors to driverless vehicles on the road, the Cruise spokesperson said, “During driverless operations there was roughly 1 remote assistant agent for every 15-20 driverless AVs.”

- hospitalJail 3y agoYes, not to mention, you might be able to outsource the decisions to a low cost call center...
- falcolas 3y agoI get the feeling that offshoring this would have disastrous consequences.
- beastman82 3y agoIf you're going 5 miles and only get 4 before stopping mid-journey, is that acceptable? I would say no, I would not find it acceptable
- marwatk 3y agoSuch frequent interventions means you need very reliable cell service. In times of heavy congestion (concerts, etc) that doesn't seem feasible.
