The closest I've come to this scenario is playing games (eg CSGO) where you can take over a bot. So often, I take over a bot (without spectating their play first) and immediately die because I have no context for their situation and they're about to be shot at; in many of those situations I feel there bot would have done better than I did.

This makes me feel a human operator probably would be no good at taking control ... however a computer that has access to more data (eg data from other vehicles), or that has more control (of other vehicles, of traffic lights, of pedestrian crossings, etc.) or more capabilities, might be far more successful than a person?!

I don't see how the situation is similar. The robotaxi is parked in front of you, you connect to it and move it away. The entire context is right there.

well honestly, if we're saying that the person being inconvenienced is the one who gets to take control, there's probably gonna be a lot of angry people driving these cars off of bridges or into ditches or something. Giving an incredibly frustrated person control of a separate car, though better for context, is probably worse for desired outcome.

How about the robotaxi company driving in respect to regulations and other's property, then we wouldn't have this discussion. Oh, it's technically not possible? Well, then don't drive them.

Ehhh I think you give too much credit to CSGO bots.
