But it was mostly just a show.

Attendee Robert Scoble posted that he’d learned humans were “remote assisting” the robots

Serious question: Wasn't it obvious?

There was some hate babbling when that robot taxi company in SanFran published that their autonomous cars were assisted by remote drivers who took over when situations were too complex for the robots.

I think remote support and steering will be the most reliable and practical way those tasks will be handled for the foreseeable future. How much assistance the cars will need may diminish but I don't think they will ever be able to work without any human assistance.
