    TLDR

    A commenter speculates that accidents are multiple times more likely in heavy rain, even when an autonomous vehicle isn't at fault. They call pausing or limiting Waymo service in such conditions a savvy move in the early days of autonomy, partly because it could avoid bad PR.

    @JasonThe chances of an accident must be multiple times higher in heavy rain, even if it’s not your fault, so it makes sense to pause or limit your AV service in these early days of autonomy. Why risk the bad PR? Sounds like a savvy move by Waymo1h
