Yes, they are not usually driven remotely, but an operator can take the wheel in an emergency situation. Most of the interventions are "this plan or that one?" decisions from the teleoperators.

That still isn't really "autonomous," but it's a lot closer than anything Tesla has done. My question, though, is how frequent the interventions actually are.

It also doesn't scale, which is the big problem. Waymo works but excruciatingly mapping out the city and its routes. It's not a generalized autonomous driving algorithm.

Which is probably fine, but it does mean it will never make it to a lot of areas.
