And even then, the best cameras today are still a long ways off from matching human eyesight. Tesla's cameras are not state of the art, either.

I wouldn't be shocked if the best cameras are better. :)
Point stands that the ones being put in the cars aren't.

The best cameras have much lower dynamic range than eyes (particularly in low light), and much longer times to refocus. Not to mention higher feedback latency when focusing on a particular object: eyes and brain are very tightly connected.
The eye is an incredible piece of machinery, specifically for dynamic processing like this.

I meant that mostly tongue in cheek. That the best camera ever produced may be better than our eyes. I wouldn't be shocked if such a thing exists. Probably target large and would be way more than a single sensor camera, though.
And agreed that eyes are impressive.
