actually driving, as in manually taking control of the vehicle by remote.

Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, recently noted that when the company's robotaxis encounter unusual situations, they may request real-time input from a remote response agent

I don't know how else to translate "real-time input".

From the same article:

Waymo says its remote fleet response agents do not directly operate vehicle controls, but instead provide real-time contextual information that the autonomous system uses while remaining in control of the vehicle.

So nobody is taking over and directly piloting the car. It's probably a good thing to have the car double-check with someone if something strange or unpredictable happens.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
