It's a mystery to me why people assume that California car companies don't test their cars in Tahoe, which has snow. Where we go skiing. Does Detroit not have areas within driving distance that have radically different climates? California does.
The article even says it: "But it won’t be Waymo’s first foray on dangerously snowy streets: the company has previously tested its vehicles in winter conditions outside Lake Tahoe."
