If humans need to remotely intervene for a car in motion, that implies it could impact safety.

If that's correct, then the remote signaling of a problem and the human's response and control must have flawless availability and low latency. How does Cruise achieve that?

Cellular isn't that reliable. Maybe I misunderstand something.

Appears Cruise isn’t giving these remote drivers a steering wheel and gas; rather they make strategic decisions: Go around this, follow this path, pull over, etc. The car is able to follow a path on its own. Determining the correct path is where it gets hard.

And what if the man in india says to go around it, and this results in someone’s death. Who pays out?
