Out of curiosity, why is lidar necessary?

When a human drives a car, their only sensors are eyes, ears, and maybe vibration. Somehow we manage to muddle through it.

Why do L4/L5 cars need anything extra sensors-wise?

I don't think it's a question of neccessity, it's a question of performance (which in this case is basically safety).
