They may be difficult conditions, but people drive in them all the time. Something like 30-40% of the US population drives in snow and wind for months at a time. They're not uncommon. What's the great utility of a car that can only perform its function in ideal circumstances, i.e. on a closed track.

I wouldn't consider it terrible to have a car that can only self-drive during the summer.

I'd compare it to having a convertible car---it has one lovely feature, that only really proves it worth during elusive weather conditions.
