An apparatus is described that is configured to operate in conjunction with an autonomous vehicle under adverse weather conditions. The apparatus is configured to be installed at the bottom part of the autonomous vehicle, and comprises at least one optical depth sensor and at least one optical projecting module, wherein the at least one optical projecting module is configured to project a light beam being a flood light or a pre-defined pattern onto the road being travelled by the autonomous vehicle, and the at least one optical depth sensor is configured to detect the projection of the light beam onto the road to enable retrieving therefrom information that relates to the movements of the autonomous vehicle along the road being travelled.
