We'll see what happens when there is snow in the forecast. They might just call them all back for the storm.

Yea, that's what I figured, but I also wonder how well anyone is driving in the slush and if the LIDAR / cameras are that disrupted by snow / ice / salt.

Waymo has done some winter testing in Buffalo NY.
