Phantom Auto did this. They had cars ferrying people around CES 2018 in Vegas driven by remote drivers in LA. Apparently the company folded just a few weeks ago.

You can drop the "partially" and just call it automated driving. There is a distinction to be made between automated and autonomous. With automated driving, some aspect of the driving task has been automated. If every aspect of th
