If the need for intervention is predictable, like a problem intersection that's difficult to avoid, they could conceivably assign an operator early, so they have time to engage and provide support immediately when required. It would pretty neat if the Waymo itself could accurately predict the need for assistance in the near future as well. But I'm sure that requires pretty specific conditions.
