> In short, sensors on autonomous vehicles don’t work well in snow or rain

This is a curious line of reasoning for me. Why are humans allowed to drive in snow or rain though? Your sensors work considerably worse in snow or rain, and there is abundant evidence over the entire history of cars that humans butcher each other with motor vehicles in snow or rain constantly.

The bar is simply that an autonomous car has to be significantly less likely to cause an injury in snow or rain than a human is.

The problem is that with current technology (as I understand it), it doesn't just make a self-driving car worse in the rain or snow, it makes it so it can't drive at all.

5G will give vehicle position better than GPS, will they use this instead of sensors for Lane detection?

Lane detection isn't really the big problem here, though. It's whether there is an obstacle on the road in front of you.
