He misconveyed the source. The claim was about the detail the eye can percieve in a given field of view, over time and by moving the eyes over it, not the amount of information the eye captures at any one time, which is vastly lower.
It's mostly irrelevant for cars TBH, since crashes are quick events.
- edejong 7y agoThat’s a simplification. The events leading up to a crash are important. The spatial understanding of the situation on the road, the behavior of other drivers and other factors all play a role in the seconds before a crash.
- Veedrac 7y agoYes, but there's a time-accuracy trade off when you see things by scanning around. A good, wide camera trades off remembered perepheral details for lower-resolution but temporally up-to-date details, which matters more in a crash I'd expect.
