If you've ever driven in the snow you know how difficult and dangerous it can be. Which makes Ford's announcement that it's testing fully autonomous cars in this less-than-optimal environment better suited for skiing pretty exciting. The test vehicles use LiDAR and high-resolution 3D mapping to keep to stay on the road when the cameras and other sensors are made useless by the reduced visibility of snow flurries.
The tests will take place in Michigan's Mcity testing facility. The 3D maps used to keep the cars on the road will be created during dry weather in partnership with the University of Michigan's college of engineering.
While reduced visibility due to rain and snow has been a huge hurdle for
