Robot taxi companies use remote assistance despite autonomy claims
By
–
"By creating the illusion of complete autonomy, companies can fuel interest in their technology and raise the billions of dollars they need to build a viable robot taxi service." Waymo and Cruise have recently admitted they use remote assistance. Zoox is more up front about it.

We just released RUMs, robot models that do basic tasks reliably and really well — 90% accuracy in unseen, new New York apartments.
