It's going to be really challenging - I wonder if the cars will "refuse" to drive if it is bad?The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-30458492836334752017-12-19T16:30:12.542+00:002017-12-19T16:30:12.542+00:00That's an interesting thought about autonomous...That's an interesting thought about autonomous vehicles as I hadn't considered the effect of cold weather conditions on their performance.<br /><br />Presumably they will be programmed to drive slower when there's a risk of ice or snow - if they rely on sensors to identify that they're driving on ice or snow, then it's probably too late - but how do they cope with identifying lane position when it's hidden under an inch or more of snow?<br /><br />Thanks for the info about clearing/treating icy paths and roads though. This is stuff I've heard before, but it's always handy to be reminded, especially given we don't have to worry about it very often in the south of England! <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />IjonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
