I remember watching a YouTuber talk about Waymo when it first started, and they had a warehouse in the same city as the cars with people who would remote in if the car got confused. Strangely I haven't been able to find info on this any of the times I've looked despite seeing it with my own eyes - maybe it was a different company idk - but yeah this doesn't surprise me at all.

Yeah this isn't new. I don't remember if it was Waymo that was open about it, but there's been a couple of companies that was selling it as a feature. Imo, VR folks remoting in is probably gonna be the future of gig work for a little while.

They will 100% be doing this with the Tesla robots, can't wait to set up my Valve Index again to fold some rich person's laundry.
