Interesting that this should come out right as lawmakers are beginning to understand that Waymos have overseas operators making major decisions.

Completely false: https://x.com/i/status/2019213765506670738

Listen to the statement.

The operators help when the Waymo is in a "difficult situation".

Car drives itself 99% of the time, long tail of issues not yet fixed have a human intervene.

Everyone is making out like it's an RC car, completely false.

Why is this relevant at all?

Having humans in the loop at some level is necessary for handling rare edge cases safely.
