This is a common misperception. You cannot estimate the shape of simple things in low light. Even humans are susceptible to optical illusions and are effectively blind during certain times of day (try driving in the direction of the sun during sun rise/set). Lidar is not susceptible to any of these things. Similarly ML will never solve low light or direct light situations, that is a physical limitation of cameras.

There are popular cars in the US that use two cameras for their self-driving functionality. Kinda like humans.

Those cameras are fixed whereas eyeballs have multiple degrees of movement via the eye socket and skull mounting apparatus allowing very sensitive parallax measurements. It's really not the same at all.
