How do our eyes work?

Far more complex sensors than cameras attached to some of the most complicated and least understood processing systems running a general intelligence with millions and millions of years of training.

Also, when you're in the car, you probably move your head more than you realize. Moving your head around and looking around also gives you better understandings of distance. Far more than a couple of cameras feeding a few megapixel images into a ML model.

Why make the difficult task of self-driving any harder, by artificially limiting the sensors you use? Planes have rigid aluminum wings and jet engines instead of bone muscle and feathers.

By us constantly moving them around in three dimensions unlike a car.

And also having a computer behind them that deeply understands what an object is, the forms it should take and what its expected behaviour should be. We don’t ever confuse billboards for real people.

Fair but to compensate the car has many more cameras than we do.

For looking forward Tesla's have three fixed cameras looking from the rear view mirror. All the other cameras do not have stereoscopic vision and are not looking forward. A camera looking out from a side pillar isn't helping gauge the distance to something far up the road.

On top of that these cameras can't move, can't be re-aimed, and have generally far worse dynamic range than our eyes.

Our eyes work in concert with a supercomputer accessing huge stores of contextual data (far eclipsing anything in a Tesla neural database) to understand and react to unique situations.

Rather poorly, given the rate of traffic accidents by humans.
