    The people in the Phillipines can't move the car, but their event response team can move the car at a very slow speed to get it off the road. E.g highway lane to shoulder.

    Last I heard they claim to have never used it though outside testing it.

    And every one of those decisions is more data they'll feed the machine.

    There has to be a point where you've got enough edge cases and bizarre situations where you have the data to train the LLM on how to deal with them.

    I doubt our dystopian future is completely human-less, but you can probably plot a graph that projects the number of human interventions required for every thousand miles driven and that graph probably has a trend going downwards.

    Then you move to another city that has more edge cases and repeat the process. Google can afford the slow rollout, Tesla can't.
