LIDAR vs Snow

The majority of the testing seems to be undertaken in sunny California or certainly where it doesn't snow for 51 weeks of the year. When the LIDAR sensors are covered in snow, then what? My car has some form of radar linked to the cruise so that it will speed up and slow down based on the speed of the car in front. But 5 minutes in the snow and it stops working when the sensor in the grill gets covered.

And as for the statement "a fleet of six Oxbotica vehicles will be released on the M40 motorway"....i hope that's at more than 5mph.
