Out of curiosity, how DID you handle the situation with the semi?

I hit the brakes to try to get out of the wall of water it was throwing, tried to remember in my head what the shape of the curve looked like from my last look at it just before the water hit, and just waited to be able to see again. It took much longer than I wanted it to...
That sounds terrifying.

Oddly, an autonomous vehicle might have the advantage in that situation, since ideally it’d have some representation of the shape of the road ahead that would persist for a few seconds even if its sensors were blinded briefly.
