Google's remote driving taxi service

Oh, they are Google? Didn't know that. Thought it was some startup.

Yes, and they're not autonomous as they market them. They're drived by AI (actually, Indians)

Remotely? Like, a drving game?

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Partially. If they get stuck a human is alerted to take over remotely. I think they are Filipinos though, based on some other news here.

So maybe this is just Filipinos intimidating someone in this neighborhood who pissed them off?
