Comment on Waymo reports 250,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in U.S.

I suspect the tech doesn’t really work anywhere but in the bright sunny desert climate of the cities where they are active now.

I’ve been to Los Angeles and Austin. Is San Francisco seen as a bright sunny desert climate?

No, it’s seen as cloudy and rainy.

Well, maybe desert is a bit much for SF but among the cities where they are active it seems noticeable that there isn’t anything in a more humid or colder part of the country or really anywhere very green (where road signs might be obscured by growing trees, that kind of thing).
