- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoRegardless, the car mostly driving itself while remote operators handle particularly tricky situations is a feat which will allow driver-not-in-vehicle taxis to take over. My understanding (which admittedly could be the victim of successful PR) is that the vast majority of the driving and even a majority of the trips are fully automated.
- s1mplicissimus 1y ago"particularly tricky situations" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here to describe situations every owner of a driving license is expected to handle routinely. driver-not-in-vehicle is an interesting approach, but calling it "self-driving" is doing the mechanical turk without the reveal. Someone less charitable might assume intentional misrepresentation for the sake of winning an internet argument.
