Not really. Dogs have roughly the same visual capacity as humans but are really shitty drivers nonetheless. Visual acuity doesn't necessarily correlate tightly with driving ability. It's possible that human-level driving is as good as it can get with just optical vision, but there's no evidence to support that. There may be vast untapped potential from pure optical vision. Honestly, if we just got self-driving cars as good as non-distracted, expert human drivers, they'd already look super-human compared to the average human.
Still, it's very likely that we can improve faster with better sensors.

- jsjohnst 9y ago> Dogs have roughly the same visual capacity as humans While I more or less agree with the rest of your post, source needed on the quoted part. From everything I’ve read on the topic, there is significant differences in dog perception over humans (FoV, depth perception, motion detection, flicker fusion, etc).
- dpark 9y agoHence roughly. (Call it order of magnitude.) The primary limitation on dogs' driving ability is not their vision.
- jsjohnst 9y ago> The primary limitation on dogs' driving ability is not their vision. Actually, I’d argue that it is, but maybe my definition of “vision” is overly pedantic. Vision is to seeing as listening is to hearing for me.
