This is a new and flawed rational that I haven't heard before. Tesla cameras are worse (lower resolution, sensitivity, and dynamic range) than human eyes and don't have "ears" (microphones).

The cars do have at least one microphone.

Inside the car though, right? With multiple exterior microphones they could do spatialization like Waymo.
