Specially because we don't drive with eyes only, we use at least our ears too for hearing unusual noises and the balance sense for detecting vibrations, changes on road surface, and to get feedback about orientation changes.
- jiggawatts 4y agoTeslas have those sensors, but don’t currently use some of them (like microphones) as inputs. Unlike human drivers, a Tesla autopilot can track the rotation of each wheel independently and in real time.

- threeseed 4y ago> a Tesla autopilot can track the rotation of each wheel independently But most humans can in most cases feel when there is a loss of traction on the road. Although agreed it comes nothing close to what the car knows. That said I am not sure that this is a core feature needed to make FSD work.
- Moru 4y agoNo idea what resolution those cameras are, can they be as good as our auto-adapting eyes together with our brains? They are pretty neat features after all, trained right. And will we loose our abilities if we don't keep working on them, building our feature set?
- filoleg 4y agoThe resolution is pretty good, but they got one other massive advantage over human eyes even without sound - a full 360 degree view at any given time that doesn't require turning head, thanks to the array of cameras covering everything all at once.
