When paired with a general intelligence evolved over a couple million years, and visual sensors that have much more dynamic range than commercially available sensors yeah.

The problem is without those 2 things Teslas crash into fire trucks.

And different bands of EM have different properties so eyes aren’t equivalent to radar. Otherwise we would be able to see around corners.

And if humans had more sensory data we would definitely be integrating it into our driving. Otherwise ADAS tech wouldn’t be so commonplace in 2023.

Even with those things, humans crash into fire trucks too...
Which is why we shouldn’t be replacing human vision with inferior versions done in software.
