Will they admit how much time the humans actually do the controlling.
If you keep doing the work for them, they'll never learn. They need to figure it out for themselves.
Anyone else not very impressed?
I still have no idea how these are legally able to operate on public roads. Shit seems wild to me. Wouldn't last 5 seconds here in Chicago, for numerous reasons lol

If it's connected to internet it can be hacked.
Correct, so far.
Only a few years ago it was the usual thing with cars (except Teslas) that their entertainment system was connected to the internet, but everything related to driving was not. Such a thing as hacking and remote driving was fundamentally impossible.
Today, even in the European cars is a whole lot more internet inside. But real remote driving is still not a standard possibility.
