I'm a little split on this. I took one in SF for the novelty, and I do think it's a better driving experience than the big ride hailing apps. It's a nicer car and a smoother ride. But this is taking jobs from people who need them. Granted, they're shitty jobs without any benefits, but still jobs.
Denver isn't terrible for snow (it melts pretty quickly), but I'm still curious to see how they handle that. And the random 5 minute apocalyptic downpours.
To your point on the snow. Like you said, it melts fast here, usually. But we do get those years where we get a big dump of snow and then it gets cold and stays cold for a few days so it all turns to ice. Since Denver doesn’t plow side streets, those turn into absolute shit shows.
Might be fun to watch a Waymo try to navigate that.
