If we ever actually get to level 5, the above should no longer be required.The roads they will utilize will need to be mapped extremely well and be used frequently. They will require remote take over of humans when encountering an array of potential roadblocks (no pun intended).
Yes, that is definitely an issue. Presumably these cars all have GPS so it should be possible to locate them even there is no network, unless they're in a tunnel. It sounds like a job for a road assistance service to tow the car to the nearest service center. That AAA membership will come in handyAnd will also require a human to be delivered to the vehicle either for repair or to resolve a mechancial or electric issue.
And I doubt that tow truck will be self-driving.Yes, that's unfortunately true. There have been incidents even in urban areas.And for now these robotaxis have been operating without a human for the better part of half a decade. Operators are extremely slow and reluctant to expand to other cities and are all doing so within a very tight radius of their home bases. The sad reality is there will also be potential hostility towards these vehicles. The further you get from the urban cores the less accepting people are of robotaxis and EVs in general. This doesn't apply everywhere of course but it's not some fabricated phenomenon either.

Unfortunately, vandalism can happen to any vehicle, self-driving or not. To get back to the subject of Tesla, some non-autonomous vehicles suffered attacks, too.
