Can you imagine the lawsuits?
No. I am not from there. Feel free to explain what is possible.
In my country we have a law that requires such remote operators to have a license that is valid here.
(Sadly, we do not require them to reside here)
So if a business has AI drive a car, but then AI hands it over to a human who has no drivers license in the location, they are essentially allowing someone to operate a vehicle without a license, who is not even inside the country. If that car crashes into someone, Waymo has to explain why they let someone wildly unqualified and unlicensed operate for them. That’s millions in damages for gross neglect.
