> if it can’t see it can’t drive and ironically that’s when it reverts back to human control.

That seems to be better than that try to continue to run the vehicle. What would you expect it to do?

If it is foggy I just don't drive, anybody that expects me to drive when conditions are bad can go and drive themselves.



“enjoy our robotaxi service except if it is foggy or rainy or snowy… if that is the case enjoy our competitors services” /s


Well, even robotaxi's can't beat the laws of physics. There isn't some kind of god riven right to transportation, it is always conditions permitting.


yea, when it rains the world stops and we all sit home and wait for the Sun to make an appearance. coolest part is that some places in the US get like 200+ rainy days and you get to stay home cause you have no choice, schools closed etc :)


I fail to see the connection.

If the condition is a little fog and little rain and little snow/sleet I hate to break it to you but those are very permitting. In most of the continental US the number of days where driving conditions for an (below)average human and such that it is wiser not to get on the road is very small. If the "robo"taxi technology you posses cannot match that of a (below)average human you got nothing but vaporware you've been pitching as "done deal" for more than a decade.


Goal post moving detected.
