It wasn't an idea that could be sold until cars had the hardware for remote control; which only came into being with the "self driving" hype storm.
When you say "remote control", though; the issues of trust come up in people mind. Those issues should exists when its onboard software you're trusting, too; but humans don't see it that way as easily.
How can you trust that your car isn't being driven by some methed up teenager playing 14 games of "carmageddon" at once for a "click farm" type arrangement?
... It never occurs to people to ask "how can i trust this software is better at carmageddon than the 14 year old?"
- alexander2002 2y agoI dont mean the car is controlled 24/7 by a remote controlled person. Lets assume a senario in which a tesla auto-pilot is being monitored by the person and the person only steps in remotely in case of fatal issues/extra-ordinary circumstances.
- h2odragon 2y agothen the teenager will be "supervising" 144 games of carmageddon
- alexander2002 2y agook i will have to check out carmageddon! 9/10 on steam looks nice
- JohnFen 2y agoBut things go from "everything is fine" to disaster in an extremely short period of time. A person remotely monitoring to take over in case of emergency would still have to be paying full attention and alert for the entire duration of the trip. People are terrible at being "on active standby" like that. If they have to be really alert to the situation, it's better if they're really driving the car themselves than expecting them to recognize a bad situation and take over in time.
