Yes, a "pair" of optical sensors. Tesla is at a disadvantage compared to humans -- they do not do stereoscopic imaging, which makes distance of objects less reliable -- they try to infer distance from a single flat image. Humans having two sensors pointed in the same direction gives us a very reliable way of determining distance (up to a relevant distance for driving at least).

Interestingly, even people with missing stereoscopic vision are allowed to drive. We don't require depth perception to drive. The assumption is that they can compensate.

Binocular vision isn't even the only source of depth information available to humans. That's why someone missing an eye can still make reasonable depth estimations.
