Computer vision is far behind human vision. Human vision includes the human brain, which we have not been able to come close to replicating. I am working on a years long computer vision project right now. We still struggle to do basic tasks that humans can do easily. Making a computer vision system for a car that always knows what images mean the road is clear and what images mean the road is blocked with 100% accuracy is very hard. That said, Tesla has also said they can determine the 3D geometry of the scene using only computer vision, which is certainly a known task (called photogrammetry or structure from motion). However it seems their algorithm failed in this case to accurately judge depth. With a clear picture and a well understood camera system it is pretty do-able, but I haven't looked at this article so perhaps the footage was not sufficiently clear.
