Safety driver
A person at the wheel of a self-driving car, ready to take over.
A safety driver sits in the driver's seat of a self-driving car and takes control if something goes wrong. Services usually start in a new place with safety drivers and remove them later. A car with a safety driver aboard is not driving on its own.
