Not only can Tesla's cameras not do that as well, they may also just shut down if it's too cold, even if they're not covered in snow.

Current self driving systems sometimes fail in perfect weather conditions on correctly marked, empty roads. There's a long road ahead if it's supposed to actually work in the real world.

It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be better than humans.

That's a failure of attention, not vision.

All the sources I'm able to find say there are no cameras in existence that are as good as human vision. Human vision is quite good and adaptive to real world conditions of all sorts.

Would you use the same excuse for calculators or medical devices?

The reason we invented machines in the first place is because they're significantly better and more reliable than humans.
