Tesla's insistence that vision is all you need is one of the root issues. Humans are able to drive with vision alone in part because we have a high-level conceptual model of the world that we can rely on to fill in the gaps when a straight literal interpretation of vision is wrong or inadequate. We know, for example, that there are not likely to be walls under highway overpasses and that stop signs on billboards are not signs. This is a "strong AI" level problem that a car isn't going to be able to to solve, so instead the best answer is to give the car super-human senses to it doesn't need such a model as much. That and if we have self-driving cars we want them to be safer than human drivers. That could only reasonably be achieved with super-human senses.
