> but instinct tells me they're not up to the task of all-condition driving From a sensor perspective, what does a human have that are missing in the new Tesla suite?

The sensors cover the whole spectrum of light humans can see, plus a lot more. There is also ultrasonic sonar.

And, of course, all of this is 360 degrees.

Human eyes have significantly higher dynamic range than cameras though, which is important when you have scenes with both dark and brightly illuminated areas.

Once again, far from being an expert in this field.

That was also my understanding for the general case, but I was also assuming that cameras were available that could at least approach human dynamic range.
