The problem with Tesla is the lack of LiDAR not training data.

You need to be able to accurately do bounding box detection in order to determine whether that billboard of a person is real or not or if that dog with a hat should be avoided.

Research has conclusively shown that vision only systems simply can't match LiDAR for this task.

Don't humans drive with vision only?

We have the world's most advanced supercomputer behind them.

And we also can move our eyes around in three dimensions to infer depth.

You are right that one problem is possibly humans don't drive with their heads fixed in place, they move their neck and constantly adjust viewing angles.

w.r.t. the super computer point, AI systems have been able to out perform humans for specialized tasks for a while.

Vision feeding into trained general intelligence.

We usually use our ears, too.
