Using video/photos to judge distance is just unreliable and stupid.

All depend how powerful is the computer managing the datas. A human brain does the job by example.

Humans don't have the best track record when it comes to safe driving, might not be the best idea to imitate them when there is better tech around.

But how many of those bad records are due to their eyes ?

Most causes of those bad records are bad decisions( checking phone, speeding, cutting lanes, etc). It is rarely due to bad sight.

The issue with lidar is bad weather. If it rains, or is foggy, it doesn't work, or give weird result.

Apparently there is some radar which can see through bad weather.

I thought the whole point was to overcome human shortcomings, not just make a worse version of a human driver. Humans don't even rely purely on visual cues.
