It’s not merely about latency, but you also need to consider that any ‘remote driver‘ will have less telemetry, and of a lower quality, than an onboard AI driver.

A human operator wouldn’t even be able to read or interpret the types of data which would be collected and sent by a vehicle such as a FSD Tesla or a Waymo.

Now as I understand it, military forces are really good at remotely operated drones/UAVs so perhaps the tech does exist in parallel, but those are two distinct applications.
