A human supervisor monitoring 10 or more vehicles and unstuck them in case will also not cost more per year.

Yeah, but this requires good teleoperator infrastructure. You can’t unstuck a robot that loses connection. There are just a lot of things that can go wrong. And an entire car being stuck and waiting for someone to come is also not cheap. I am pretty sure Amazon (one of the biggest robotics company on the planet btw) has done the math.
