> First, you're utterly wrong about how rainy cities are[1]. Most of the population of the US lives in a place that has more than 100 rainy days per year. The Northeast Corridor by itself has 50 million people and 120+ annual rainy days.

First, you are utterly wrong with your facts.

100 rainy days per year does not equal 2400 hours of rain per year.

It's closer to 500 hours of rain per year = 5.7% of the time.

Realistically, you're looking at the VAST majority of cities Uber being able to operate in 99% of the time.

Additionally - "rain" does not equal downpour. Waymo can drive in light rain.

And guess what - when it's downpouring, people crash MUCH MORE (fun fact - my father almost killed my hyrdoplaning in a downpour to get to my brother's basketball game).

Maybe it's not the worst thing in the world if people aren't on the roads nearly dying in the middle of The Perfect Storm (<1% of the time) to get places they probably don't really need to get to in the first place...
