> a human can only look into one direction, while a Tesla can look into all directions at once.

Human visual targeting happens extremely quickly relative to the rate of change of objects on the road, so this isn't very important. If it were, attentive driver crashes would happen far more often than they do.

This says nothing about the capability of the system. Tesla's have their own non-camera-related failure modes too, like not knowing that traffic lights don't move with the vehicle through space, like changing lanes into opposite-direction lanes, like not having object permanence, like needing to recognize what an object is before deciding to not run it over.

But now also imagine if human drivers were in serious need of glasses but weren't wearing them.
