Reply to comment by Cdn_citizen in Waymo launches the world's most advanced robo-taxi service. Rides can be hailed to go anywhere in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, 24/7, and with no safety driver by lughnasadh

You probably could, but I’m certain it’s more difficult and more expensive. I’m also guessing heavy snowfall or rain messes with a lot of the sensors. Guessing it’ll be years before they work out those scenarios most of the time.
