> Yet somehow, humans can drive cars with just a pair of optical sensors
A pair of optical sensors and a compute engine vastly superior to anything that we will have in the near future for self-driving cars.
Humans can do fine with driving on just a couple of cameras because we have an excellent mental model (at least when not distracted, tired, drunk, etc.). Cars won't have that solid of a mental model for a long, long time, so sensor superiority is a way to compensate for that.
