It’s a trivial claim, advanced without evidence. There’s no reason to believe that a human could drive a car based only on those limited visual inputs. Humans use all our sense to drive.

And even if it were true, so what? Last I checked Tesla didn’t have software which can perfectly emulated a human agent.

_For that statement_ it's immaterial whether Tesla does something right now, but rather whether it's in principle possible. Modulo your previous objection humans provide a counterexample to that (very general) statement.
