I am not convinced that a camera fixed in place is equivalent to eyeballs with 6 degrees of freedom. That freedom significantly boosts the available parallax for depth and distance perception something fixed in place cameras lack.

nor that current algorithms come close to matching our biological ability to infer 3-dimensional information from the sensor data
Teslas have 8 cameras monitoring the full 360° surroundings. This enables far better world modeling than our two eyes 3 inches apart.
Tesla can't even figure out how to detect rain, they very clearly do not have better world modeling than our two eyes. A fucking two year old child can detect rain better than them.
