I notice that they are refereed to as "driverless" rather than "self-driving".

Are these actually self-driving or are they remote controlled by a person?

I saw a presentation at a conference that pretty strongly suggested they will have a remote driver take over at certain points (the car will assess it can’t continue and remote driver takes over)

A remote driver, or remote navigator/coach?

The former is incredibly dangerous, the latter is what Waymo is doing.

Second one. Someone remote can help label and plan until the car has enough confidence to proceed.

Right, which isn't a remote driver.
