This whole idea is dumb as hell! Monitoring a self driving car is a higher cognitive load than just driving yourself. Peer reviewed research shows that after 20 minutes, vigilance decrement occurs and attention/focus drop off a cliff. Calling these people 'safety monitors' is farcical.

workers drive minneapolis has passed the minneapolis city council! this requires autonomous vehicles to have a human safety monitor and bans remote operation, and also preserves local jobs largely held by immigrants over big tech. from a public memo released by robin wonsley -

Either just ban the things outright, or tax the hell out of them and start UBI for ex Uber drivers. The current plan won't make anyone actually safer, but it will likely result in one of these 'safety monitors' getting sued into oblivion when they don't intervene and an accident inevitably happens
