"Achieving that goal necessitates a production system supporting it" is very different from "If the control system is a full team in a remote location, this vehicle is not autonomous at all" which was what GP said.
I read GP as saying Waymo does indeed have self driving cars, but that doesn't count because such cars are not available for the average person to purchase and operate.
Waymo cars aren't being driven by people at a remote location, they legitimately are autonomous.
