The reason Tesla FSD performs better with just computer vision than Lidar (twitter.com/wholemarsblog)

We know it is sufficient because all humans drive using just vision.

Wrong!

Humans use vision, sound, feel/touch, knowledge of environmental conditions that can't be seen (cross wind, black ice) and can judge the likely response of other human drivers to unexpected and unpredictable road conditions.

If a human driver sees an accident or perhaps a tire on a large truck disintegrate up ahead on the freeway, he immediately knows to change lanes in order to avoid what is coming his way.

Can camera only FSD do this?
