Stranded Overnight On A Snow-Clogged Interstate? Tech Should Have Saved You:

To those who grew up in snowy places, the calamity that occurs with moderate snow in places that aren’t used to it is somewhat amusing. In Buffalo a foot of snow would cause some disruption but be shrugged off. In Texas and Virginia, a few inches could be national news. These regions need to spend more on their infrastructure to handle snow and increasingly frequent weather extremes, but aren’t willing to pay the cost.
Of course, drivers would prefer to heat the whole interior — but a full battery should be able to do that for around 3 days. Nobody has a full battery, but it’s still likely to beat the gasoline car. Particularly because with an EV, you can set the heat low and use less energy, which is not the case with the idling gas car.
The best systems never need to be actively used. Rather they give you warnings when you need to know something, and the lack of warnings is a signal that everything is normal. Your nav system should know you and your likely routes, or at least the likely routes in your area. When roads are clear, it need say nothing if not asked, other than perhaps display a green light on the screen.
