I'm not sure a want a human driver who only drives in winter - they will be out of practice when we need them. The snow problems mentioned above are real - but it isn't all winter, it is a couple weeks scattered around the whole season. Then the plows get out (and things warm up enough for salt to work) and you can drive like summer for a few days.

Right, and these companies are more than capable of running on a week to week or day to day basis (they already do this in the markets they test in).

Do you feel similarly about making cities bike-friendly?
