We also have a pretty large part of our brain dedicated to image recognition, in particular we are excellent at reconstructing a 3D environment from 2D images.
Furthermore, everything about the road is designed to help us humans. The size, color, placement, etc... of road signs and markings is specially designed for human brains to process.
As for the hardware, our eyes have very good resolution, field of view and an unmatched dynamic range. Far better than the stuff in Teslas.
So I'm not saying that it is impossible for computer vision to get away with just using cameras, but it is competing with what our brain does best. So a little help in a form of a LIDAR isn't too much IMHO.
