Ever wondered why with millions of years of evolution, human drivers with depth perception-enabled HDR cameras in their heads still get into accidents all the time? If that's your bar for "good enough" then we're in big trouble with autonomous vehicles.

You need to look at why humans have accidents then.

Hint: it’s not due to the sensor package being used.

But it is. The package is pretty limited, and the firmware running it is full of hacks that compensate. Hiding the blind spot, saccade masking, not paying attention to stationary things...

The vast majority of accidents are due to distracted driving. The millions of humans successfully operating a car more or less prove that the problem isn't our sensors. Alternative sensors may help, but marginally.

It at partially is. For example, humans' blind angles get blamed for quite a few accidents. Pointing attention in the wrong direction for another decent batch.
