I used to think they were a lazy solution for nice weather. Watching it carefully avoid ice patches to bring my milk home changed my tune.

Nah, I'm still not sold. A human driver has way better judgment when the roads get truly nasty. That little bot would be toast in a real blizzard.

My bot got stuck on a flat bit of sidewalk last week. I'm the problem, not the snow.
