Doesn't SF have wide, neatly planned streets and great weather all year? I can't imagine these cars driving on some narrow European roads from the medieval time

Doesn't SF have wide, neatly planned streets and great weather all year? I can't imagine these cars driving on some narrow European roads from the medieval times in the winter

A look at google maps shows the city is splits in large perfect squares of roads themselves split in smaller squares. It's typical US modern layout, the antithesis of European layout.

- cwhiz 6y agoI would consider it somewhere in between the grid of Manhattan and the winding chaos of Boston. There are definitely fewer weather events. I don't any single self tech could successfully navigate snow.
