How can self-driving cars see in the rain, snow and fog?

Just like with any new technology, autonomous cars have faced their fair share of speed bumps from concept to product, especially when it comes to navigating in inclement weather. Recent developments in autonomous car technology, however, could be the solution to this problem.
Similar to human drivers, self-driving vehicles can have trouble seeing in inclement weather such as rain or fog. The car s sensors can be blocked by snow, ice or torrential downpours, and their ability to read road signs and markings can be impaired.
