Robotaxi remote-help secrecy shows autonomy still has transparency gaps

Autonomy is not only about what the vehicle can do alone. It is also about how often humans still need to help.

What happened

Robotaxi companies refused to say how often their autonomous vehicles need remote assistance.

Why it matters

Remote help can be a hidden cost and trust issue. If vehicles often need human intervention, the economics and autonomy claims become more complicated.

The bigger picture

The next phase of robotaxi deployment will need more transparency. Safety, reliability, and operating costs matter as much as expansion headlines.
