Human vision sometimes fails in perfect weather conditions on correctly marked, empty roads.

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.
