AFAICT it has not been described "in detail," the only writeup I know of is this vague, flowery blog post: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/

> it's not in a way that would be particularly helpful here.

Why would you say that? This claim seems completely unsupported. What if the human directed the Waymo to drive more slowly and carefully than it would otherwise? That sort of instruction seems entirely consistent with the blog post and would be critical to the impressive behavior we see in the video.

I think you are under the misunderstanding that since humans don't control the vehicle, they must have only a second-order impact on safety. But I am not concerned about self-driving's technical ability to dodge obstacles, I am concerned about its judgment around passing school buses or not slowing down when there are lots of pedestrians. It's this sort of human-level reasoning that I suspect is critical for Waymo's safety record. Nothing in Waymo's blog post / infomercial suggests otherwise.
