I'd argue that Self-driving cars are better capable of recognizing ice patches. They don't just rely on visible light to see the ice, but have a more diverse sensor array.
The challenge there of course is having the car learn to interpret the input of these sensors. But that doesn't seem like a unpassable hurdle. On the contrary, it would be pretty high on the list of things to tackle when aiming for driving in snowy weather.
- jakeogh 8y agoIgnoring the real problem you mentioned, camera dynamic range (for example) is pathetic compared to the human eye.
- mikejb 8y agoDepends on the camera, but mostly yes. OTOH, it's (relative) trivial to improve that for cars; it's way harder to improve it for humans. (Also, as a data point, I think there was a guy who drove his Tesla with lights off, and it was able to stay within the lines)
