What are waymos?
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?
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.
