This is why most of the robotaxi testing is only in dryer fair weather areas. All of them have issues with precipitation.

All of this news gives me more respect for Waymo. Which sucks.

LoL, this was my joke about EV's, namely that they don't work in the rain, come true IRL. This is really a weird timeline! FWIW, my ionic 5 seems just fine in weather, rain, snow, etc.

At least it releases people instead of driving then into a tree.

This is the same robotaxi that Elon was up on stage a few years back claiming to make tens of thousands of dollars for their owners every year, that was going to launch in a year?
At the same time claiming that it would be financially insane to buy any other car than a tesla?
That one?
Yeah, I am quite happy with my 2021 Seat Leon.
You couldn't pay me to get into one of those driving coffins.
You can't make this stuff up.

Meanwhile in Europe where MOIA is working with VW on an autonomous mini-van taxi, they first make the product work before releasing it:
Since the beginning of the year, MOIA has been testing the ID. Buzz AD in winter conditions in Oslo, Norway. Along with tests in Austin, Texas, USA, Munich, and Hamburg, these efforts expand the operational capabilities of our autonomous technology to perform in extreme climates.
