What will happen if it stars snowing? The self driving cars will be stuck on the roads?(I mean in the future where the passenger can't drive the car back home)

Following the line is too basic for a self driving car, I remember some students having small toys programmed to drive toy roads by following the lines, and that was more then 10 years ago.
Tesla should have detailed maps of this big roads, so maybe when the maps and what the car detects do not match it should be less confident, the collision detection should be extra sensitive, the driver should be alarmed, the car should slow down, if they have problems on this big roads then they need a new kind of hardware and software to navigate any medium road.
- EngineerBetter 9y ago> Tesla should have detailed maps of this big roads Their imminent software update adds exactly that. They took their navigation data in house because the atuff they used before wasn't detailed enough.
- simion314 9y agoI mean the maps data they collect from the other Tesla cars and not the GPS navigation, they said that in that accident a big number of Tesla cars pass that point daily and they also collected this navigation data for training, so I assumed they have this detailed maps and the car should know what to expect(I am sure this is a hard problem ) but maybe they need to be more cautious when there is a mismatch(like if 2000 cars used this side of the road but now it appears some line appeared that does not match, lets safely slow down and ask the driver to take over and analyze what is wrong)
