alt Hacker NewsWhy does it matter if fleet response sit in Manilla, Miami or Milan?
Surely what matters is the architecture:
> The Waymo Driver evaluates the input from fleet response and independently remains in control of driving.
Waymo tell us that fleet response agents can only provide waypoint suggestions, they don't have steer-by-wire remote control of the vehicle.

Right, I don't think it matters at all.
Kids in the PI are much better at paying attention to traffic, because it is utter fucking chaos in Manila, routing by a school is not particularly interesting. So they might feel better about providing waypoint near a school in the US than an American person would -- not realizing US children are comparatively retarded to Filipino children in dealing with traffic.
I'd trust Manilla drivers over Miami drivers any day. They are tempered in a hotter furnace
