So the questions were, you know, where does your technology come from?

And is it always just the technology or are there humans behind it?

And so the chief safety officer admitted, his name is Mauricio Pena, he admitted that when the vehicles get confused, like they don't know which lane to take, they don't know which way to turn, if their autonomous guidance doesn't know what to do next, they can do basically what's a phone a friend, they can call out to a call center.

There was no data on that at all.

And the Congress people did not press on that.

In other words, is it 1% of the time or is it 85% of the time?

We just don't know.

It absolutely is.

And Waymo did say that their call center employees do have driver's licenses, didn't say what jurisdiction it is in, certainly not the ones where the calls are originating from.

They did say that they have call centers both in the U.S.

and abroad, but didn't specify which countries.

But you're absolutely right.

They don't have that locality, that understanding of the local, you know, the roads, the laws that apply on those roads.

And they have access to the in-vehicle camera and sensor information.

So they can actually see, oh, you're in this lane.

You need to be over there.

So you might want to turn right.

And then they tell the automation and the automation does it.

The company says that the call center employees do not have the ability to directly take over roads.

control of the vehicle.
