    it would be entirely consistent with what he is saying for the car to ask “should I run over this child” every few minutes, as long as it only takes the operator say six seconds to click NO

      more generally, it would be consistent with his claims for someone to be almost constantly watching the video and inputting instructions, as long as the instructions are discrete and do not constitute taking sustained control of the vehicle. if you had a vehicle that had to be manually informed every time a light was to be stopped at or a lane was to be changed into, as long as you don’t take over the wheel that would be completely hidden in his stats. he’s 100% bullshitting

        from my current understanding, this is extremely likely to be the case. it’s an incredibly unsafe system that doesn’t scale beyond small-scale testing, but this is most likely the only practical way to divide the attention of a relatively small number of safety drivers between multiple cars that need constant correction

          given their struggles with GPU overheating (which’d eliminate the car’s autonomy entirely), I wonder how many remote safety driver systems are remote commands injected into an OEM driver assist (ACC/LKAS/automatic lane change) package, since those come with the car and are rather a lot more rugged against obvious shit like heat than the bullshit a bunch of fresh grads with zero automotive experience bolted to the car
