Waymo has a blog post on what these remote assistance people do: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/

They effectively are answering questions like "is this road closed", or "is the object in front of me a solid object or a weird shadow".

These are not the sort of questions that US driver's license is really related to, it's not things like "can I legally turn right on red at this intersection".

Do we require a driver's license to solve Google reCapture questions like "what squares have a bike in them"? Because the waymo stuff is closer to image classification than driving.

I think if you took a buddy with you to the drivers license test in America and asked your buddy these questions during the test. You and your buddy are both failing. Unless test was in India over tea and not in a car.

If they have a driver’s license from the Philippines, then it should be enough. Just like foreign tourists can rent and drive cars in the US without needing a US state driver’s license.

Do you think American tourists have to take a Filipino driver’s license when they rent a car on vacation?

Is Waymo software licensed by a dmv ?

Yes. Something you should intuit, and is eaisly confirmed with a quick search. It is licensed to drive and the conditions underwhich it may do so are clearly stipulated. If it didnt require a license elon would have his deathtraps littering roadsides with mangled flesh and steel everywhere. Perhaps ask yourself why you asked such a misguided question and consider what you can do different in your cognitive patternd to avoid it in the future.
