I think you are putting a bit too much faith in human cognition: "when you put a person through 30+ hours driving course, they don't suddenly lose the ability to recognize trees or faces". They do. they get tired and their reaction time slows down. they get drunk, they get distracted. Humans do exactly this - unpredictably lose the ability to recognize and react in a timely manner.

I understand the point you're trying to get across, but to be clear about this tangent - it's not that I'm overoptimistic about human cognition. I'm aware how ill it is suited for the task of driving. I just put much, much less faith in DNNs.
