But don't they have some sort of remote control? Does it need a technician to see that somebody just put a random cone in there?
"Waymo technician disables safety feature, car kills pedestrian" Or "Waymo disables safety feature to deal with orange codes, car plowed through construction area and killed ten workers"
Not that it's happened, but I imagine their risk management advice says they have to send a tech out to reset it.
"Waymo technician disables safety feature and car kills pedestrian, hacks Bluetooth and starts making threats against humanity"
See, just not worth it.
