Humans suck in these conditions too. The solution is to go slower, pull over in the worst conditions, take an off ramp, don't drive in the first place, etc. These are all things humans have been known to do.

Road lines are important but physical obstacles like other vehicles are more important.

Will the car follow through with these solutions as well? Are they set up to do that now? Can they make that assessment?

Sounds like the solution here is just to not run the cars when people are going to be most likely to want to use it.
