Almost no rain? Not sure what you're smoking, SF gets rain on 70+ days of the year, and it's concentrated in the winter so you have about three months where it's constantly raining. Sure, east coast cities get more rain in total but it's not binary. I also find SF has pretty poorly maintained roads with lots of potholes but YMMV.

In my admittedly limited and relatively dated experience driving in SF, the potholes are pretty shallow and you can usually drive over them safely. I imagine they have also gotten a lot worse since I left, as the city's management has only grown in incompetence. A quick Google search shows 50 inches of precipitation over 125 days in NYC, and 23 in SF in 71 days. That's less than half. The source (US NCEI) doesn't say how they measured, but I believe that's only rainfall. It also does appear that as of 6 months ago, Waymos can now operate in rain and fog, but still stay off the streets when it gets heavy.
