Humans don't need LIDAR, but we rely on the massive amount of compute power available to us in our brains and a variety of other sensory inputs that go beyond simple vision. Of course, we're easily distracted, which is one reason why we aren't perfect drivers. I really believe you can make a vision+radar only self driving car, but not without a lot of compute power. LIDAR just makes it easier. Will HW3 be enough? Probably for a lot of scenarios, but it's definitely not going to be level 4/5 anytime soon.
