Humans don't have LIDAR, they have only 2 eyes and not even radar. Yet they're able to drive pretty well, it's because they have great software to power that limited hardware.

Yes, but Tesla has a bunch of cameras not two human eyes.

Edit: I wonder if a human can learn to drive a Tesla remotely better than another human with radar and multiple camera input by representing them in some useful way.

Remote operation is not yet a viable option for safely operating vehicles on most public roads. Our cellular data networks are simply too unreliable. What happens when a construction crew accidentally cuts the backhaul fiber for the closest base station? Or when the car is driving through a tunnel?

Humans can do a lot of other things such as hear car horns, reason about driver behavior, interpret road signs, and understand casuality of driving off a cliff.

Exactly my point, this is a software limitation and not hardware.

Humans can rapidly move their "cameras" 360 degrees, across multiple planes, with a wide field of view and at over 500 MP.

No car can come close to doing that.

Humans don't have even remotely close to "500 MP".
