They claim to have three forward facing cameras.

The forward-facing cameras are all in one module at the rear view mirror location. They just have different fields of view.[1] So they don't get any multiple point of view or stereo benefits.

Seems like stereo from cameras in the upper corners of the windshield would provide valuable depth perception. But what do I know...

It would work great for maybe 50 ft distance. In other words, useless for driving.
