Now I'm imagining a guy whose job is to sit all day in a simulator vehicle, 'teleporting' from one stranded Waymo to the next and taking it around school buses and manhole covers, parallel parking, etc.

I kind of think that is viable. Replace thirty regular drivers with one. That kind of model doesn't look too far off.

We already do it with military UAVs. Assist-by-wire for vehicles seems like it's not too far-fetched.
