SF is worse, except for the snow.

You can complain about Boston drivers, but they are pretty predictable compared to SF tourists.

Snow is an issue, but they'll get that done.

I don't think the drivers are the issue. The infrastructure, including the signage and road markings are vastly more sane and regular in SF than in Boston. And have you seen the road layout in Boston? I have no idea if this will be a challenge for Waymo, but I could imagine why someone would think it would.
There are some areas of Boston where the roads are pretty bad. I took a friend into the medical area around the Fens recently and it was really a cut over here and don't let them in sort of situation.
There's an argument that "aggressive Boston driving" was a result of how the old Central Artery was built.
