Which is very very few markets, and all of them share weather patterns that are very similar.
When Waymo can demonstrate reliably going from Chicago to Ann Harbor in the middle of a snow storm thats when we can start talking about how its good enough.
- scarface_74 2y agoIt reminds me of the advanced ED209 robot in Robocop that was taken out by an inability to go down a flight of stairs https://youtu.be/_MS4sLlBvbE https://youtu.be/_MS4sLlBvbE
- anon-3988 2y agoIf robots can bring everyone to and from work it would be over for manual driving. People dont buy cars to drive in extreme weather in remote areas.
- scarface_74 2y agoBut they do buy cars that they can drive to work in the rain, snow, etc.
- no_wizard 2y agoNeither area I referenced is remote.
- anon-3988 2y agoPut it another way, would you buy a car if you cannot use it for daily work commute? I think for a lot of people the answer is obviously no.
- no_wizard 2y agoSure wouldn’t, and for what it’s worth that’s why the scenario is a great litmus test. If it can do that, it should be able to handle anything else thrown at it
- anon-3988 2y agoExcept we already do have that technology, its not a fancy robot, but trains. I wouldn't consider buying a car in Tokyo.
