The things described in the article aren't really vehicles. You have slow carts with a container compartment for delivery or a slow moving area scanning "security bot".
I've seen things like this moving on the UC Berkeley campus. "How do you safely maneuver a vehicle with a 50ms delay?" Very slowly and haphazardly. The whole scheme seems more about getting someone in third world country to work delivery in a first world country than efficiency of any sort.
All things considered it’s bound to be better than most normal people driving if you specifically choose people with good reaction times. And it’s not F1, life and death is rarely determined by 50ms.
