Is this really "fully autonomous"? I get the feeling the driver (the one with the legal liability) is watching from a remote terminal back at waymo hq.
There’s no remote driver. There are people at a remote center that can add labels to scenes if the computer doesn’t have enough confidence to proceed. One the computer has enough information to start planning again, it resumes driving.
It’s fully autonomous. They can’t “joystick” the car from a remote terminal.
Could you show me the control stack source code to prove that? Ah yes, you can't.
You can choose to believe Waymo (and all other SDCs who say the same) or not. No one's going to show you source code on an internet forum.
