- •Waymo confirmed using remote human operators (Fleet Response Agents) in the Philippines to assist its autonomous vehicles, challenging the perception of full autonomy.
- •This practice has intensified a debate in Washington regarding the true autonomy of robotaxi systems and potential safety, cybersecurity, and accountability risks associated with offshore human involvement.
- •The discussion signals increasing regulatory scrutiny on the operational models and supply chains of advanced technologies, which could set precedents for other critical infrastructure sectors and large power consumers.
