I'm not in the US and have never seen a self-driving car.

Can you explain how a human intervenes in person?

Do you mean these cars have a human driver on board? Or the passenger drives? Or another car drops off a driver? Or your car park is such an annoying edge case that a driver hangs around there all the time just to help park the cars?



It’s a garage where regular cars and self-driving cars “coexist”. The self-driving cars have human minions walking 24 hours in the garage, employed by Waymo/Google, to make sure the self-driving geniuses are able to successfully park without blocking other cars or the street permanently. If a self-driving car gets stuck, a human walks up to it, unlocks it via a phone and parks it like any other car.
