like 90%+ of living beings on the planet use eyes to navigate. Seems to work for them. None use LIDAR or RADAR, only a few use SONAR.

By that reasoning, shouldn’t the fastest living beings move around on wheels instead of legs?
Just because something works for evolution/nature, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t a simpler/better engineering alternative.
We have spend hopelessly many years trying to build machines that walk — Now Boston Dynamics seem to be there. But it is really complicated compared to wheels, and their machines are not running at 2-300 km/h.
Birds do exist and can reach speeds up to 200 mph (320 km/h).
Someone disputes that birds can fly fast and do visual navigation?
