You seem to say that the difficult part of driving is staying in the lane. That's by far the easiest part of driving, both for humans and computers.
I do all my driving north of the 64th parallel. It's been all ice, snow and darkness for the past few months. That's probably coloring my perception here.
In your original post you mentioned clutter, which is I think a better example of what's difficult in driving: predicting the behavior of drivers and pedestrians. Even just processing the world into objects and deciding which ones might move is harder than seeing lanes in the dark, I think even for humans.
As for ice and snow, they produce more error, requiring larger distances between vehicles, but usually don't change the basic negative feedback mechanism, a mechanism that has been implemented by machines for centuries. The big problem with them is skidding, which is a completely different problem.
