Self-driving cars safer in sunlight, twilight another story
Briefly

A study with data from over 2,000 self-driving vehicles suggests their lower accident rates compared to humans in lane-keeping and speed maintenance but higher risks in low-light and turn-executing situations.
Self-driving cars were found to be 5.25 times more likely to have accidents in low-light and 1.98 times more prone to mistakes during turns, indicating possible improvements required in autonomous vehicle performance.
To enhance autonomous vehicle safety in challenging scenarios, the study suggests strategies like advanced sensors, redundancy measures, and effective integration of sensor data for improved situational awareness.
Improving autonomous vehicles' performance in low light conditions may require advanced sensors, robust algorithms, and intelligent design considerations, as stated by the research.
