How Does Enabling Autonomous Vehicles to See in Adverse Conditions Work?

Autonomous vehicles use special tools to see clearly even when it’s dark, rainy, or snowy, just like how you can still play hide-and-seek in the dark if you have a flashlight.

Autonomous vehicles have cameras and sensors, kind of like eyes and ears. When it's raining or snowing, regular cameras might get blurry, like when you try to look out your window on a rainy day. But these special cameras use infrared light, which is like a warm glow that can shine through rain and snow.

These vehicles also have radar and LiDAR, imagine them as super-smart rulers that measure distance by bouncing signals off things around them, just like how you might tap your foot on the floor to feel how far it is from your bed. Even when it's foggy or snowy, these tools help the car know where it is and what’s in front of it.

So even if it’s dark or stormy outside, autonomous vehicles don’t get lost, they’re like superheroes with special goggles and super hearing!
