Lets not pretend that humans are great at snow. Lanes become imaginary in snow and best case the two track is roughly similar to the actual lane. The power of humans in snow is understanding that rules are more like guidelines and bending or breaking some are necessary at times.

They’re incredible compared to current vehicle driving assists which won’t operate at all when the road is snow covered.
They’re also pretty great considering the millions of miles travels on such roads each year.
Human drivers here, have no problems navigating snow covered roads, even when the road, side of road, and everything is uniform white. When there are no visible lines on road, when there is no road tarmac to see, when ditches on side of road are filled with snow.
Human drivers can tell where to stop at stop lights, without lines or other metrics. Subtle clues abound, but I cannot believe current tech can navigate here.
At least dirt roads are generally brown and mostly vegetation free, although I wonder how even this would be handled in desert like areas, where it is flat, and road and surrounding land are dirt.
