I was thinking basically the same thing.

I've driven I-95 in heavy rain and/or snow, when stopping at all -- let alone in time to avoid hitting another vehicle -- would have been ~impossible. Plus the fact that visibility was extremely limited.
And yet there we were, cruising along at highway speed. I recall thinking "Hey, it's cool, because nobody could stop." But then, there's the occasional mass pileup, after a semi jackknifes.

But who cares? If it can drive in the easy 90% of the time that will be enough of an achievement.
