Incredibly, you're underestimating the computational power of both autonomous vehicles and human brains. A modern smartphone is more than 2000x the Apollo Guidance computer. A Waymo is significantly more powerful than that. A human brain is tens of trillions of times more powerful than the AGC, assuming somewhat low estimates.

That extra power might mean seeing something move in your peripheral vision, intuit that it might be a cat, predict its path in space, and that it may have put itself under the car because that’s something cats usually do. The LiDar achieves nothing compared to this.
