I hate this argument. It doesn't hold for several reasons:

- A human driver has blind spots (which btw Tesla avoids by having cameras surrounding the car)

- Human reactions times are very poor at even moderate speeds

- Human vision is affected by glare

- Humans are terrible at driving in low light conditions

- Humans are terrible at driving in inclement weather - snow storms or heavy rainfall

LIDAR doesn't solve many of these problems but to claim that self driving is solvable by vision alone is a bad take. Multiple sensors add redundancies and reduce errors. Teslas are already equipped with ultrasound sensors and radar so it's not technically solving a Computer Vision only problem.

Radar+sonar do.

It's never about being just able to solve the problems, it's more about solving the problem without spending millions and millions of dollars and still not having a product everyone can use after years.
