Maybe now San Francisco will allow it to operate in the fog and rain?

"Even over short distances – such as between San Francisco International Airport and the Sunset district – local conditions can vary significantly," Waymo said, adding that modern weather tools lack the specificity and precision required to operate in places like the Golden City.

Waymo said the map allows its fleet to track the progression of fog as it rolls in from the Pacific and burns off as the sun rises, and can even"detect drizzle and light rains that lead to wet roads in situations that are invisible to the National Weather Service's local Doppler weather radar.
