> Judging by how frequently I occasionally lose internet connection for a mile or two in my major metro area for even basic tasks, like Siri dictation or streaming audio, I can't imagine how remote takeover could possibly be the answer to the "10%" situation

There is already fantastic LTE along all the long-haul truck routes, because human truck drivers like to be connected to the rest of society while they are alone on the road for dozens of hours.

Also, Starlink is coming.
