Abstract
Techniques are described for determining visibility conditions of an environment in which an autonomous vehicle is operated and performing driving related operations based on the visibility conditions. An example method of adjusting driving related operations of a vehicle includes determining, by a computer located in an autonomous vehicle, a visibility related condition of an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is operating, adjusting, based at least on the visibility related condition, a set of one or more values of one or more variables associated with a driving related operation of the autonomous vehicle, and causing the autonomous vehicle to be driven to a destination by causing the driving related operation of one or more devices located in the autonomous vehicle based on at least the set of one or more values.
