The point of self-driving is to eventually be better than humans at handling the unexpected because humans are LOUSY at handling the unexpected.
I want my car to be able to see through the fog, rain or snow because it has better "eyes" than I do. I want my car to notice that train I'm about to run into because the sun glare is preventing me from seeing it. I want my car to have noticed the quick moving motorcycle behind me that's overtaking in a lane to my right where it shouldn't be.
A self-driving car that is vision-only cannot get there.
