I see it as a trial by fire. If Waymo can handle LA, it can handle anywhere (that doesn't have awful weather).

Fire indeed. Good luck to everyone else, but I won't be in that kitchen.

One step at a time. Computers are already better than humans in terms of braking with ABS brakes. Driving in awful weather conditions is just a matter of sensors - as a human I can't see in the dark, but IR sensors can. Same for snow. Something with radar on different frequencies than visible light can see through snow and do better than humans can.

SF traffic seems harder to handle than LA traffic.
