> I can drive in the snow More often than not, snow driving is CHALLENGING. And it's not for a lack of experience, as I'm doing multiple roadtrips through the BC Coquihalla Highway. More often than now, it's more of a matter of best attempt at driving in the path made by other car disregarding lines on the road than driving by the book. The utter HELL being driving at night with a blizzard, this is a level-up experience for sure.

And before anyone says, well don't do that: 1. Many people have no choice but to drive in bad snow conditions for any number of reasons including that they're emergency workers. 2.) Winter conditions catch you. Even though I don't commute and basically do everything to avoid bad winter weather conditions, I've still been caught in pretty bad conditions a couple times over the past few years.

  > And before anyone says, well don't do that: Fuck them... Is that how much a pussy society we have become ? Avoid dangerous conditions because "it might be dangerous" ? If a freaking Tesla can't handle what my 06 SUV can handle without issue, and what people were handling ~forever, ... just as much as an Apple laptop can't handle what a then-IBM was handling, then the damn "car"/"laptop" is nothing but a piece of shit. Urbanus homo sapiens sapiens is really a pussy...

    That's a ridiculous statement. Having a self driving car that works in only certain conditions can still be a benefit for the society. It won't benefit you, but it will benefit thousands of others.

      In the mean time, every Texan EV owner is stuck because their brand new 50k Tesla can drive in the snow.

        They are not stuck, because they can drive the Tesla themselves and secondly they don't have to buy Tesla in the first place. It's still useful for places without snow.
