You mean besides the fact that it is hard to create an autonomous vehicle? These vehicles have to take many things into account and try to make sense of it. I am sure this is probably why the average speed is so slow. It is also easier to avoid obstacles when moving at a slower speed. This is the first time this has been done and you are wondering why the vehicles are not averaging 80mph down the road.
No it's not dark there for 6 months of the year and the two feet of snow isn't that bad:). I think it's a great idea if it attracts startups, then I could possibly move back.
