>I wouldn't be surprised if you eventually have to end up getting police to stay on site with the drivers for this scenario.
that's ridiculous given that similarly important situations happen all over the tech sector, and there are no such police escorts.
I understand the issue, but there aren't any police to tackle rogue actors all over the place. At some point we rely on trusting a professional to be a professional, with retroactive punishment being the ultimate deterrent.
Unless Starsky is hiring people anonymously without payroll or background checks, the identity of the person who flees will be known -- at which case the criminal justice system kicks in and attempts to apprehend and prosecute.
Put another way : Do you often get police escorts on your drive to the grocery store?
My first hacky technical solution? Put a breathalyzer on the teleoperation terminal. A high count calls up some supervisors and disallows the use of the terminal. No cops needed.
Is this practical? Is it responsible? No, probably not -- but it's nowhere near as impractical or irresponsible as wasting hours of on-site police during all hours of operation.
There’s likely issues with a hacky solution being brought up in court where an officer wasn’t there to administer it when the accident happened.
One officer on site also doing physical security and consulting elsewhere is definitely not impractical.
I’m sure drone pilots in the military aren’t sitting by themselves. Rarely are any tech people under DOT or highway patrol scrutiny because they don’t put lives at risk by operating heavy machinery while drunk/high
