Behind all the new smart city tech I encountered here in Shenzhen and Shanghai are actually human operators (drones, cars, vending machines). You can find the job ads online.

I’m sure there are, but direct remote control of throttle, brakes etc in vehicles is _hopefully_ not part of that.
I could see certain situations where it could be authorised when a vehicle is stranded and unable to operate autonomously at all due to an error, but it would have to be extremely slow speed with a full-stop failsale on connection drop or high-latency detection.
That said I bet there are some who do not consider the safety implications and “move fast and break people”
