Modern cars with advanced driver assistance systems are more difficult to drive in winter than simpler models. This was stated by auto expert Egor Vasiliev, explaining that numerous electronic assistants and active safety systems do not always work correctly in snow and ice conditions.
An additional difficulty is created by the fact that in modern cars, the driver has less and less direct influence on the operation of the engine and transmission - algorithms are responsible for this. In situations where the adhesion of the wheels to the surface is minimal, electronics can sharply lose efficiency. As a result, the car can become almost uncontrollable even when trying to get out of a snow-covered parking lot or when skidding at speed. The expert noted that in difficult weather conditions, simpler cars are sometimes more understandable and safer, while "smart" systems are better revealed in tandem with an experienced driver.
