The reliance on human technicians for remotely controlling self-driving cars challenges the narrative of full automation in the industry, exposing potential vulnerabilities.
After high-profile incidents, companies like Waymo began admitting human technicians play a crucial role in navigating autonomous vehicles, revealing the hidden workforce behind 'self-driving'.
The lack of transparency regarding the number of remote technicians and their influence on vehicle operation raises concerns about the true capabilities of autonomous driving technology.
Events like the Cruise incident highlight how human intervention in autonomous vehicles may be more common than disclosed, calling into question the technology's reliability.
