The technology relates to using on-board sensor data, off-board information and a deep learning model to classify road wetness and/or to perform a regression analysis on road wetness based on a set of input information. Such information includes on-board and/or off-board signals obtained from one or more sources including on-board perception sensors, other on-board modules, external weather measurement, external weather services, etc. The ground truth includes measurements of water film thickness and/or ice coverage on road surfaces. The ground truth, on-board and off-board signals are used to build the model. The constructed model can be deployed in autonomous vehicles for classifying/regressing the road wetness with on-board and/or off-board signals as the input, without referring to the ground truth. The model can be applied in a variety of ways to enhance autonomous vehicle operation, for instance by altering current driving actions, modifying planned routes or trajectories, activating on-board cleaning systems, etc.
