I think you’re saying the fallacy is that Tesla cameras are as good as eyes. Is that accurate?

If so I agree that that is a fallacy, they definitely are not as good as eyes, and I’d think anyone who drove a Tesla would agree.

He says eyes are much better than cameras.

I think that’s what he means but the verbiage implies the opposite.

“causes a fallacy most people don’t even realize - eyes are way better than current cameras.”

This implies “eyes are better than cameras” is a fallacy. But the rest of the comment makes me think you’re right.

Yeah that’s what I meant. The fallacy being that people assume the cameras are as good as their eyes, especially when looking at footage shot through them without any basis for comparison.

I thought so, and yes, the resolution on them (at least as experienced while driving) is not high. They can see in several directions at once, so that’s good.

It’s not hard to imagine a car having better visibility than a human with cameras. But I don’t think they do yet.
