Basically what the self driving food delivery robots do in Berkeley, then

They are pretty autonomous, but if they get stuck then someone in Colombia takes control

Yarp. This all being sensationalized before we see the actual product and see how it is being implemented. They aren't remotely driving cars at 50mph down a highway, they are going to remotely tell the car to pull over when someone puts a cone on the hood at a stop light as a prank, or if it gets stuck where it believe it may hit something in every direction, where it is stopped and someone will evaluate the risk via the cameras and guide the car in the best direction. So likely you need 1 person for a very large number of cars.
