1. A system for mitigating damages caused by severe weather, comprising:
a self-driving motor vehicle comprising a self-driving system, a microprocessor, and at least one sensor;
wherein the self-driving motor vehicle is configured to drive itself to a potentially sheltered location upon learning of an arrival of severe weather;
wherein when the self-driving motor vehicle arrives at the potentially sheltered location, the microprocessor is configured to analyze information from the at least one sensor to determine whether the potentially sheltered location provides adequate shelter for the self-driving motor vehicle; and
wherein when the potentially sheltered location provides inadequate shelter for the self-driving motor vehicle, the microprocessor is configured to direct the self-driving system to drive the self-driving motor vehicle from the potentially sheltered location to another potentially sheltered location until the microprocessor determines that a current potentially sheltered location provides adequate shelter for the self-driving motor vehicle.
