Waymo declined to tell me whether—or how often—remote operators intervened during my ride
Or just the entire ride.
Declining to provide the information on how much humans were driving to a journalist writing an article about the experience just makes it look like Waymo decided that there would be zero errors.
Meanwhile, Tesla just said go for it, and then the author wrote a review disparaging Tesla, who gave "full" access without human help. Instead of Waymo, who declined to say whether humans drove the car.
Waymo could offer a Mechanical Turk to play chess with and this author wouldn't even blink.
This is an information-free article with a click-bait title.
"While no one was behind the wheel during my rides, Waymo has remote operators that sometimes provide guidance to its vehicles (Waymo declined to tell me whether—or how often—remote operators intervened during my rides). And while Tesla’s FSD works on all road types, Waymo’s taxis avoid freeways."

Your whole premise is flawed. Waymo remote operators cannot drive or control the car in that way.
