Waymo explains its winter weather response measures

In a series of posts, Waymo explains its approach to handling winter weather: the Waymo Driver can detect real-time changes in grip and adjust steering, braking, and acceleration, and the company also uses simulation testing to reproduce scenarios such as black ice and whiteout conditions, while keeping sensors clean through heaters and tiny wipers. Waymo says it will slow down, restrict service, or suspend operations depending on conditions, and advises users to check the app for the latest service information.
