Weather still a challenge to autonomous vehicles – Urgent Comms

In the drive towards full autonomy, vehicle makers and solutions providers must tackle a nearly impossible variety of factors. Some of these, often necessarily, are more attention-grabbing than others but there are numerous ones just as critical that don't typically appear in auto technology headlines. One is the weather, which is somewhat odd because information about weather and its effect on road conditions has been crucial ever since humankind has climbed into a car. In our'assisted driving' age, that need remains acute and experts say it will be more so as we move up the levels of autonomy. Fortunately, with increasingly robust vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, weather data and forecasts can be delivered ever more effectively.
