Hardware in human eyes is actually pretty bad. Modern cameras can record and process more information in higher resolution and dynamic range.
The advantage is mainly in software. For example, I have a spot on my daily commute where I need to yield, but thick vegetation blocks the line of sight. I have to look for the signs of a moving car through the bush where there are some clearings, then wait to give the cars that I can't see the time to appear on the other side, if they exist, and proceed only then. I seriously doubt an image recognition system can do this.
