But the human has lots of hardware built in for adjusting aperture, edge detection, spectral imaging. That's just scraping the surface. Though its standard configuration is stereo, giving it substantial redundancy as well as automatic redundancy It also has helper hardware to adjust for vantage point - it can even shift spatially in 3 dimensions up to a meter in any direction to find new vantage points, feeding all sorts of data (including mechanical linkage positioning and angular data) into the integrating system, giving a deluge of data apt for world building.

Edit: not to mention state-of-the-art sensor fusion, with atmospheric composition analyzer, thermometer, multiple high resolution vibration sensors, stereo microphones and an advanced vehicle to vehicle signalling system backed by heuristic fallbacks.

One or two fixed position monochrome, low resolution forward facing cameras such as in a Tesla just won't compare.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but the Tesla engineers have a much harder task than if they'd had human level sensors. The Tesla "brain" is more like a human looking out of a tank through a periscope in a tank or something... and the periscope can't even be turned.
