Sure, but does your driveway have traffic on it day and night? Do you have to pay $50+ per hour to clear snow from your driveway? Will several vehicles and people and potential pedestrians be injured if a car slides in your driveway? What about maintenance costs associated with fixing potholes in your driveway?
I think the many added logistics associated with removing snow from a road in a downtown urban area makes the cost of a heated bed much more lucrative than if you’re just heating a driveway
These are all good points, but I’m still quite skeptical. I’d need to see an actual projected cost breakdown, and then a followup 10 years later to review actual costs and savings.

Yeah, but it’s not that special. Heated surfaces like this are ungodly expensive, both to construct and run.

I do wonder about maintenance, you’ll get potholes in any temperature and they’re sure to damage the wiring/pipes.
