What garbage. The human eye has about 20 stops of dynamic range. Cameras of the size that are in a Tesla are at about 12 stops. That's a lot of data they don't get. For just one thing. Human eyes can also adjust focal distance multiple times a second, which camera (lenses) have a harder time doing.


For one tiny portion of the 360 field of vision of cameras, yes. For the rest they have 0 stops.
