But didn’t it come out recently that Waymo has human “drivers” behind a remote control and that it is nearly a 1:1 relationship of driver to car because the self driving tech just hasn’t made it far enough?
I think you might be thinking of Cruise?

I haven't heard anything about that. Got a link? I don't even see how that would work in real time. Waymo is a very safe driver and can Indians even drive in the US on their licence because it's so crap?
This story came out recently about Amazon shopping:

You thinking of that?
No but that was a similar story that came out at the same time. I think I may be thinking about the Cruise vehicles.
