How about hiring people to drive the taxis… Instead of hiring people to remotely drive the taxi… What exactly would be the difference??? Except actually having the driver in the vehicle is proven to work…
You can hire someone in another country to drive remotely, so can find cheaper labor. They could also theoretically have them multitask driving multiple vehicles at once.
Edit to clarify, I don’t think this is good, but I think people trying to make money (eg Musk) will push for these kinds of things regardless of the safety.
Driving multiple vehicles at once??? Would you take a taxi driven by a person in another country who was not paying attention full attention to the one you are in???
optics. Tesla has attracted so much investment money, and tech enthusiast customers with the promise of fully self-driving vehicles that they need to keep the illusion at all cost.

Because latency and removing the personal accountability of not wanting to die in a car crash are a feature!
