I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.

    I have no more insight into how Waymo manages these overrides than anyone else, but I don’t find it unbelievable that a remote operator with access to an interface to the autopilot and an ability to see the data it is presented with could direct it to ignore an incorrectly identified obstacle and continue.

    It seems to me that it would be a hell of a lot safer and easier to correct the mistaken decision of the autopilot and let it continue than to rely on a connection from halfway around the world for real time vehicle control.

    However, like I said, I have no insight into how it works.
