I guess it's not for live driving? The ping of any connection can't be good enough for that?
Who cares about ping when there are profits to be made
“Whoops you hit a dead zone — missed stopping at the red light and killed the passenger, would you like to reload and try again?”
Oh yes, it is. They mean business.
The internet infrastructure of any really existing city is not good enough if just a few thousand cars "suddenly" become unable to self-drive, and therefore need these thousands of remote guys with their VR glasses.
Or, maybe there will be only 50 of these VR guys anyway, and so it takes, let's say, 20 hours to move 1000 cars, or 60 hours to move 3000 cars...
BTW How much food and water do you carry in your car, usually?
5G is a requirement for self driving cars. Usually the remote driver does low speed interventions to get the car out of a situation, then switches the automation back on.
