Drivers who live in cold weather climates learn how to manage snow and ice on the roads – and winter-weather driving is indeed a learned skill. We wondered: how do #AV developers teach cars to handle icy road conditions, particularly when road markings are obscured? 

Most AV deployments are in warm weather climates, where clear weather is more common and road surfaces haven’t been battered by ice and salt. We wanted to hear about the unique challenges of operating in cold weather conditions. What are the most difficult challenges to overcome?

In this episode, we will talk to experts from the private and public sector about  how they are tackling the challenge of operating #AVs in winter weather. ❄️
