The dynamic range of your eyes vastly exceeds any "normal" camera on the market today and have much better low light sensitivity. Not only that, they're paired to a biological supercomputer whose "programming" is more powerful, efficient, and robust than anything currently in silicon. It's certainly possible to drive autonomously with cameras-only, but it's very much an open question whether we can do so safely today.

And yet with our two cameras, we still get into a lot of accidents. Why would we not want to improve upon that with additional sensors like LIDAR?

So you're going to hold off riding in vehicles with human drivers until they get augmented with LIDAR as well?

To be clear, I am not saying don't use LIDAR. I was calling out OP's statement that they would feel unsafe in a car without LIDAR since it was unable to detect an unsafe condition that they detected themselves without LIDAR.

because Tesla uses 3 front facing Black/Red ~1000x600 36 frames per second cameras mounted in the center with no ability for parallax.
