The problem is, as air flight has found, you're removing training hours from the humans so theyll be more and more dangerous also. And how do you safely hand off to a driver who is 99% of the time not doing anything. That's the thing humans are worst at, stayomg attent to long boring periods

The safety driver will be sitting in a call-center-like office and taking remote control when the car requests it.

That sounds like a terrible job with a lot of potential for things to go wrong.

Why? Sounds similar to the maritime pilots, whose job is to maneuver all kinds of ships just for small stretches (usually near a specific port).
These would be (remote) car pilots, probably specialized in specific areas.

High-pressure and probably a fair amount of death

Well, I'm assuming we're in L4, so they don't have to pick up the controls of a car going high-speed or such. I can't imagine any company would sign up to have its employees regularly have the clients' lives in danger, it would be unsustainable legally and PR-wise.
