Human Oversight:
While Waymo's autonomous driving system is designed to make decisions autonomously, human oversight is still an important part of the intervention process. Waymo has a team of human safety engineers and operators who monitor the vehicles and intervene as needed.
These humans can provide additional context and expertise to help determine when to intervene. For example, if the autonomous driving system detects a potential safety issue, the human operator can review the sensor data and make a decision about whether to intervene.
