And as bad as it looks like on that camera, its a way better camera than the 1.2MP 1/3" CMOS sensor that Tesla uses for its "self-driving" cameras. In any case, our human eyes are actually really, really good. Far better than typical CMOS technology at capturing dynamic range and whatnot. Our Iris opens/closes depending on a variety of conditions, and our retina itself is 22 mm, far larger than typical camera CMOS sensors (but smaller than the top-of-the-line 35mm cameras). Not only is our surface-area larger... our rods / cones seem to be superior in dynamic range than CMOS technology. ---------- That being said: I think a big problem for Tesla's system is that they use tiny and cheap 1/3" CMOS sensors at low resolutions, and then expect AI to magically fix all their problems. Other companies are willing to not only buy more expensive cameras, but also more-expensive sensors, such as RADAR or LIDAR, to assist the camera.
