This is a bit of a nonstarter for gauging snowy weather performance, in my opinion. While comparisons can still be drawn between human and FSD drivers using the same (incredibly unsuitable) tires, handicapping the system doesn't provide a great measure of its prowess or challenges in "snowy conditions."
A bit of an aside, but few driving-related topics grind my gears more than people who live in snowy/icy climates driving with cheap (or just bald) all-seasons and complaining that their car "isn't good" in the snow so they need a bigger 4x4, which is of course subsequently kept on stock all-seasons for only a marginal improvement.
