OK, I see your point. But try to see mine - rain may make it hard to see the lines, but snow may make it impossible.

- aidenn0 5y agoYes, snow is worse in every possible way than rain (unless the rain then freezes to the road). We are so far away from that though. Don't forget, for L5 it also needs: - Do the right thing in construction zones where signs and/or barriers may indicate that following the lines is wrong (including flag-men) - Detect when an out-of-site emergency vehicle with sirens running may be approaching the next intersection and slow down - Go 25 "when children are present" and 55 when children are not present (though TBH, humans are mediocre at this, and L5 only requires human-level ability)[1] To my knowledge, there's nothing in the prototype stage that can handle the above in sunny weather. Going from "No protytpe can do this in sunny weather" to "Commercially available in 8 years" seems unlikely even if we restricted it to "only in areas with no snow" 1: For the non-Californians, I drive by 3 of these on my way to work: https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/what-does-when-children-are-present-mean-on-speed-limit-signs/ https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/what-does-when-ch...
