But for Fahed Hassanat and his team at Sensor Cortek, a big dumping of snow is cause for excitement.\nDrivers for Sensor Cortek get behind the wheel of a car covered in sensors from bumper to rooftop and hit the road in order to solve one of Canada's biggest roadblocks to autonomous vehicle adoption: snow.\nSnow can be hard to distinguish for sensors, which are often obscured and confused by bad weather, to detect, making it even more difficult to train self-driving vehicle software and algorithms.\n\"You have the snow, you have the rain, you have the fog, you have the dust,\" said Hassanat.\nAutomakers Ford Motor Co. and Volkswagen AG abandoned Argo AI, their autonomous vehicle company, last October, saying they don't see a path to profitability for the project.

\nIn January of this year, 628,000 warehouse and transportation jobs were unfilled, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\nThat's an increase of nearly 100,000 open jobs from January 2022.\n“We’ll need less humans to do certain jobs, but those are the jobs that humans don’t want to do,\" says Mark Yoss, who teaches advanced manufacturing at Metropolitan State University Denver.\nYoss believes people should look at robots as a way to fill a gap instead of a threat to the human workforce.\nA recent survey found the manufacturing industry could be short more than 2 million jobs in the next decade.
