Waymo is testing self-driving minivans in the snow

CEO John Krafcik tweeted a photo this morning of self-driving Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans in the snow at South Lake Tahoe, California. It’s an important step forward for Waymo, considering that last fall Carnegie Mellon’s Stan Caldwell said that automated vehicles weren’t yet ready to handle heavy rain and snow.
