If this is the entire reason people are talking about Waymo's safety risks regarding human intervention, I gotta be honest... None of this is surprising or concerning.

I worked at a self-driving car company previously that got close to providing public robotaxi service (disclaimer: I still work in AVs, but different problem domain / goals). A human-intervention "Mission control" is pretty standard operating procedure. And the kind of interventions we're talking about are generally high level: "I have seen something that suggests this is a construction site / road closed / other unexpected situation: is it safe to continue or should I re-route or cancel operations?" In general, remote "joystick driving," if even possible by the team in the Philippines, would be rare. If latency was a concern, I'd assume it'd be routed to stateside (for the record, latency round-trip to the Philippines is a quarter of a second, about a third to a sixth of measured unprimed human reaction times to surprising events). But for most intervention human assistants do, a round-trip of a dozen seconds would be acceptable.
Waymo is operating over 2,000 robotaxis, apparently (based on a cursory Googling). If they have 2,000 operators, I would find that unfortunate. If it's closer to 500? This whole situation is working as intended.
... but I would like to see Waymo compelled to publish those numbers.
