I think we have a lot of proof that human visual detection works well enough to “only” kill around 40k people/year in the US from traffic accidents. I have had a Tesla for several years now. The visual object detection display very frequently misidentifies objects. Just the other day, it detected my garage (which the car was parked next to) as a semi truck. I have never, with my wildly imperfect human vision, mistaken a building for a semi truck. More to the point of the OP, sometimes objects show up and disappear repeatedly. As I’ve said in other comments, I think EVs and autonomous driving will eventually improve the lot of humanity greatly, but there’s a lot to be desired in the current tech and not any point in trying to pretend it is better than it really is.
