I'm sorry but it's troll-level behaviour to slap the "insignificant market share" label on the entire northeast and midwest which includes 6/10 of the largest "urban agglomerations in North America": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_urban_aggl...
Unfortunately, troll behaviour or not, that's how SF companies behave in the real world. The usability of their products tend to be proportional to how close you are (physically or otherwise) to the bay area. I live in Calgary and I would be very surprised (and happy) if I see self-driving cars here before the end of the century.
You're just not important enough for how hard it is. Why is that so offensive to you? You don't even want it and you're upset no one cares to offer it to you? Bizarre.
Is this like not being invited to a party you didn't want to go to? Okay, then, maybe Tesla's snow driving test will give you the chance to ostentatiously decline.
Not the OP, but personally I don't want other self-driving cars on the road with me risking me and my family. We know how easily, and plentifully, software bugs get introduced every single release, I would imagine developers being the last set of people who are willing to risk their life on software.
