That remote controlled car idea is stupid. So many things can go wrong. What if the connection gets interrupted?

And perhaps the most important thing - when there is a human driver, he is also responsible for his own life, so he will drive very carefully.

This is a shit idea and it will fail.

I don't think anyone is recommending remote controlled cars. It's about having a fallback to handle edge-case scenarios (e.g. toll ways, construction zones), likely at slower speeds, as AI is already quite good at reacting rapidly to sudden movements. The collusion avoidance will still be enabled while operated remotely, so a failed connection, can just result in the car pulling over and waiting.
