The car sees as well as the driver does. Is that good enough for all circumstances? No, clearly not. But refusing to drive in situations that are unsafe for people too sounds like a feature, not a bug.

I mean, let's be blunt: the "LIDAR vs. cameras" debate has been settled at this point, and the fancy sensors lots. Of all the things one can complain about with FSD, sensor fidelity is not one. Teslas don't hit things. The problems remaining to be solved are in the planning regime: my car still misses turns at a rate somewhat higher than I do, usually because it's in the wrong lane (and that often because it thought that the backup in the turn lane was something it could go around).
