Autonomous vehicle (AV) startups have raised tens of billions of dollars based on promises to develop truly self-driving cars, but industry executives and experts say remote human supervisors may be needed permanently to help robot drivers in trouble.
Yeah in the discourse around self driving cars everybody pretty much acts like people drive like the law says that would theoretically be safe. Which they absolutely do not, and if they did, car traffic would be one great big gridlock.
Which is why like no company operates any of the truly autonomous one at more than pedestrian speed. Suddenly you can't blame a guy for it anymore, that's on you now.
Tesla is of course a forerunner in this field again with their "just roll a stop sign" option. Which, to be fair, everybody does anyways, but seeing how EV autonomous cars is what will save us from climate change to most of the population and car accidents are already considered acts of god with no actual causes, I'm not sure we're not gonna see the things just plow through people regularly
