Can a Self-Driving Car Work in Deep Snow?
Self-driving cars would be cool, but there's no way they could function in northern climates. They need to see lane marking on the road. Severe weather would interfere with their sensors.
That's been a leading criticism against the viability of self-driving cars. But is it true?
Ford silenced a slew of critics this year with the first publicly demonstrated test of autonomy in snow -- or "snowtonomy" as they call it.
They're engineers, not wordsmiths.
The autonomous Ford Fusion Hybrid test vehicle has redundant sensors that are constantly monitored for impaired performance caused by snow
