You're still in the driver's seat ready to intervene. Others are doing it every 13 miles: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/09/tesla-full-self-driving...

Waymo's remote operators are still sitting in an office intervening and as a passenger you don't even know that it's happening

Except they can't make the kinds of safety critical interventions Tesla driver's in the seat can make i.e. prevent accidents. That's just physics.

We know exactly how their remote operation works: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/

If my Tesla swerves into oncoming traffic with no warning and I get in a crash, who is responsible?

If my Waymo ride does the same, who is responsible?

Yeah, so? You don't think they're going to keep improving it until supervision isn't required?

13 miles per intervention after 8 years of development suggests it’s not happening anytime soon.

These guys are all talk and no action. They wouldn’t dare risk their life in the backseat while fsd is turned on but happy to be a keyboard warrior for Elon. It’s hilarious.
