You need at least a minute to get into the context and have full situational awareness, to imagine what it would be like as a remote driver with less lead time than that, think about a scenario where you suddenly wake up with your hands on the wheel, with no idea where you are and no idea what's going on, except the situation is probably bad.

Rather, things like "unknown obstacle on the road, can't continue", with the operator instructing it to just run over that empty cardboard box. All realtime safety decision-making should have safe autonomous fallbacks, a human cannot be expected to drop in and take charge in seconds. The entire level 3 / 4 "semiautomation" market is a bunch of make believe.
