Aspects of the disclosure provide methods for controlling a first vehicle having an autonomous driving mode. In one instance, sensor data generated by one or more sensors of the first vehicle may be received. A splash and characteristics of the splash may be detected from the sensor data using a classifier. A severity of a puddle may be determined based on the characteristics of the splash and a speed of a second vehicle that caused the splash. The first vehicle may be controlled based on the severity. In another instance, a location of a puddle relative to a tire of a second vehicle is estimated using sensor data generated by one or more sensors of the first vehicle. A severity of the puddle may be determined based on the estimated location. The first vehicle may be controlled based on the severity.
