If you limit yourself to the equipment that humans have, how do you expect to outperform humans? Would we accept 40k deaths every year in the US from self-driving cars, too?
For that matter, I don't think the cameras installed in Teslas work as well as a good human eye, with dynamic range and depth perception.
So it seems like a bad premise to start with, and the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so to speak. So many years in, and when they pulled the radar out for supply chain reasons they had to disable self-parking, too.

- pwinnski 4y agoThat last statement is an assertion lacking evidence, and as counter-evidence I offer every accident Tesla’s “autopilot” has been involved in. If drivers always paid good attention, I’m sure we would have fewer collisions. I’m not sure we would have none.
