Does waymo also choose the times of driving, and conditions? Or do they always drive, even at night and in heavy rain?



I was waiting for a Waymo in Austin during the weekend storm and the Waymo suddenly cancelled on us right after a power outage that lasted a second or two. According to local news the vehicles had stopped and were blocking traffic.

Correctly estimating capability is pretty safety positive.

Meaning, humans choosing to drive in more difficult conditions probably means they sometimes drive in conditions that they shouldn't.


This is good to know, but we should note that humans choose also.
