I think Ford is the first company to really be trying to test in snow at all, but that's mostly focused on mitigating the problem of snow on the ground. The sort of snowstorms I've driven in, I don't expect a self-driving car to be able to do in the next sixty or seventy years at least.

They will also likely have a much better handle on what speed is safe given the moment to moment road surface conditions and imaging quality.
