Reply to comment by Cdn_citizen in Waymo launches the world's most advanced robo-taxi service. Rides can be hailed to go anywhere in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, 24/7, and with no safety driver by lughnasadh
They will just send them to a storage lot when inclement weather hits till it is completely gone.
I figure they will probably use them like a flock of birds and send them all south for the winter to work in warmer cities.

Probably not even necessary. How many days do cities with snow actually have snow sitting on the roads? A dozen or less?

It’s less so snow sitting on the roads as to the melting and freezing cycles over night that’s the issue. Plus I’m in Canada and sometimes a polar vortex can keep it so cold that even road salt doesn’t work and ice remains on city roads.
In that case snow + ice = bad time to be self driving and lack the intuition of a human driver.
