Would you ever feel comfortable with a person remotely driving a car you are in? Your family's in, your spouse is in? I wouldn't.

I think the idea is to have a driverless car, with a remote-driver fallback.

I don't like that option because there are no downsides for the person remotely monitoring the car (plus it has to be incredibly boring).
