According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Cybercab autonomous vehicles are currently undergoing testing in Chicago’s extreme winter conditions, where temperatures reached 8°F (feeling like -2°F with wind chill)—colder than Anchorage, Alaska. Unlike the Model Y robotaxis operating in Austin, the Cybercab features B-pillar camera washers, which could improve sensor reliability and safety in adverse weather. This hardware enhancement highlights a practical advancement in autonomous vehicle design for challenging climates, as reported by Sawyer Merritt.
