at a very low speed over a very short distance.

LOL so when they get in a situation in a tunnel that is 10 or 20 km long (ok you have them only 4km in poor Usa, but we have them here), they first drive it at 10km/h and then they give up after 300m? Because the rules are the rules??

From the description it's really not meant to solve that. In a situation like that they'd have to send someone, but they would be able to get out of the middle of a lane, off to the side, even if that only gives an extra foot or two of space to pass the vehicle.

Edit: And that's assuming their remote helpers couldn't direct the car to drive itself out using their other tool where the AI drives itself with their suggestions.
