"Autonomous Vehicles driving on rural roads/highways during whiteout winter conditions will be problematic."

Why? Depending on the sensors, they may be far better at sensing the road and other vehicles than a human in those conditions.

And if not, they will probably be programmed to slow down, pull over and not drive in those conditions, where humans often will endanger themselves and others.

Knowing those roads based on peeps well removed from the locale is extremely problematic.
