Shouldn't these workers in Phillipines be required to be licensed to drive cars in the USA to operate those vehicles (even remotely)? I understand that they're not really driving those cars. But they've control over these cars and they do operate them when required on public roads.

International drivers are allowed to drive on US roads as long as they have a valid license in their own country. In particular, Filipino drivers are allowed to drive on US roads without any extra paperwork.

But also, even in the USA, we have 51+ different licensing schemes in the US. We already accept that if you have a license in one place, it's good in all the places.

Indeed. I can rent a car and drive in the US, despite having learnt to drive and only having a driving license from a country which drives on the other side of the road.

The correct side, and not the right side.
