I'm afraid the guy plowing remotely from his warm living room might miss something important like a kid walking up.

We really need intelligent machines that can operate (at least) as safely on their own as we would operate them if we were there.

If there had ever been a kid walking up there would have been no reason for a remote control plow. I'm sure paying a kid to shovel would have been cheaper than building that thing.
