It's interesting as from the videos I've seen, it seems like waymo doesn't even entertain the idea of allowing remote support staff that level of micromanagement to control a car.
It makes sense too, as you really don't wanna deal with the cell network to provide realtime updates to the dispatch. Better to just send a car out.
Heck it would even seem sensible to allow the customer support staff to update the model of the world that the car sees but still allowing it to travel autonomously.
We don’t know that it’s direct remote control. It might be that they sent a command to it to back up or move forward and it figures out how to do that.

Allowing direct remote control is wild
