Manual override in Robotaxis?

[Hilgi]

Will there be any way for Tesla or car owners to help a stuck car? Once robotaxis are out, I am sure there will be outlier situations were the cars just stop because they are stuck, etc. I would think there would be a way for the owner to remote in and have all the camera views, then use a game like controller to help a stuck car.

Has there been any talk about this?

Not really. I think the plan right now is to keep the driver in the car as a "safety driver" for awhile and only remove the driver when FSD is so good that it never gets stuck.

Darn, I was hoping to have some fun with a remote!

Users/owners & Elon Musk have mentioned this idea (at least when in line-of-sight), but liability questions are probably going to delay any sort of "drone piloting" on public roads.
