How Alphabet's Waymo Will Teach its Self-Driving Cars About Snow

Waymo said on Thursday that it will try to teach its self-driving cars about snow by taking part of its fleet to a place with notoriously fierce winter weather: Michigan.

Waymo, the Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary formerly known as the Google Self-Driving Car Project, said it's expanding its test fleet to the metropolitan Detroit area specifically to gain experience with driving in snowy and icy conditions.
