In fog, in a sand storm, in any heavy weather yer gonna want LiDAR.
Their camera gets confused by large objects in the dark that obstruct it's view. It has crashed into a few overturned vehicles at night because it didn't know what they were and just disengaged instead of detecting an impasse and stopping.
If humans can do it why not cameras?
Yeah, it makes it better and more reliable in harsh conditions, I agree, but driving has always been based on people looking where they go, so camera imagery is enough for driving. If it is not safe for a person, then it's not safe for a car with only cameras. Plus only having cameras doesn't mean you cannot use special equipment, IR cameras can improve visibility on harsh conditions too. Not that I mean they are used, but you know, it's a matter of what we mean with "enough to drive". Again, I want to emphasize that I agree, having LiDAR or other tech would be much much better.
