I've been to san francisco before, it doesn't even snow there

> it doesn't even snow there

My Subaru can lane keep in a Wyoming blizzard. There isn’t some unsolved technical problem with snow for any system with radar, i.e. anyone who isn’t Tesla.

Keep in mind that like a fifth of Americans and half of humans live somewhere is rarely or never snows.

I guess once they demonstrate it working smoothly and profitably in cities like Boston, NY, Detroit, etc. I'll be more concerned? Given that it doesn't really even work too well in places with good signage, lane markings, etc--not to mention no weather--I'm not worried yet. And frankly I'm done with "the future". If it doesn't deliver results now, it's not real. Until it's real, it's nothing to get alarmed about.

Plenty of neighbourhoods there have non-existent, defaced and degraded signage and markings. > Until it's real, it's nothing to get alarmed about I don't think there is anything to be alarmed about, period. Driving is a silly job when you think about it. We made these machines to do our bidding, not enslave us behind their wheels. My belief in a smooth roll-out is reinforced by those who would probably oppose AVs also not believing it's real. Once the first factory mass manufacturing AVs breaks ground, any limited local opposition can be preëmpted. [1] https://waymo.com/blog/shorts/back-to-boston/
