I hope those steering wheels are for software developers, not remote support for cybercab. Actually remotely driving what's supposed to be an autonomous vehicle is dangerous. Waymo support never actually drives a Waymo. They pick from a menu if possible actions, or they leave the vehicle where it is and dispatch on-site help.

The only reasonable use for these sort of steering wheels is to develop and test vehicle remote control capabilities.
