You're making the (implied) assumption that self-driving vehicles will be successful, and furthermore, deployed across a wide geographic area.

I would invite you to come to Minnesota in the winter and drive a car for a few weeks, and then proceed to make the same (implied) claim.




Do you not think there's a market for self driving cars that only operate in good weather? I live in the mountains and we get a ton of snow. But there are very few times where snow is actually on the ground.


Self-driving cars in the south, bay area, Seattle, and DC in the summer would be more than enough to make a shitload of money.


Minnesota is a paradise to drive in (even in winter) compared to where I'm from. You should have picked a better example.

Can't make it, but thanks for the invite
