I do think that, as long as someone hasn't yet invented the sufficiently smart self driving car, that robo-taxis will be required to have some sort of override mode, either cell or satellite based; something where a remote human operator can take over, using the sensor data to drive the car until it can get back to situations where it can actually handle.

I understand that lag can be an issue, but if speeds are limited to 5-10 mph, that should be less of a problem.
