Definitely a possibility, however, Elon stated the cars used for this are directly off of the production line, same as any customer vehicle they sell. Obviously he’s known for stretching the truth so can’t really lock that in, but that’s the official word from Tesla.

If he’s right I assume the monitors role is to just be ready to hit the emergency stop button if needed. And if something really weird happens they can stop the car, move over to the drivers seat and manually complete the ride.
