Since this experience I've just assumed all waymos have some warehoused human drone pilot actually controlling it.
The phillipines is a major source of scams, having random anonymous pinoys with access to things many assume are private matters could become a massive problem. Say you're on your way to visit your daughter and you're discussing concerns about her health problems, say the scammer finds your daughter on SM, gets extra details and uses this to sift through any of the hundreds of leaked personal info databses. They cold call the daughter as a telemarketer and get her talking for as long as they can. They tanscribe her voice data using whisper and can now clone her voice through any number of tools. They call you, pretending to be your daughter, in a panic, asking if you could please help her pay the medical invoice that the clinic just emailed you, or they'll reposess her car. Why would you even think its a scam? You pay, only to find out a week later when ranting to your daughter about how outrageous it is they tried to repo a sick womans car, that it was all a scam.
That's just _one_ plausible scenario in which this is a problem, if you can't think of more perhaps you should keep your comments out of the discussion, because at present you've contributed nothing but ignorance.
