Waymo is doing the same. Mostly self-driving but when they get stuck a human at a help center takes the sticks. There are a lot of edge cases in the real world so it makes sense to just have the car programmed to be very conservative and let a human deal with it.

“CLASS D LICENSE!”
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
Should be totally shut down until self diving is perfected. Shouldn't even be allowed the chance to lie about it.
Also they should get taxed into the ground. Like $5,000 Bill for signing a new customer up, and $60k every time the service is used. Daddy Warbucks can afford it and he be fixing the economy.
I'd like to volunteer, just add a strong wheel
This is what's known as a pro gamer move.
Bonus points if you land a jump.
On the one hand, this means they may be serious about actually trying to make this work. On the other hand, it'll almost certainly require a subscription to use the robotaxi in fully autonomous mode because that'll be an ongoing liability for Tesla.
