Why is city council thinking about approving this? I have no idea. Why is there teledriving? Because labor from the third world is dirt cheap compared to paying domestic Lyft or Uber drivers.

I have no idea how writing tickets for this is going to work. There are already teledriver “backups” for self-driving cars, but how involved they are probably depends on the company.
