> a human would with less information.

I'm arguing for the case where the human as NO information.

Let's say, there's a bicycle/motorbike somewhat behind your cars.

For a human driver, it can be seen in only one of the 3 rear mirrors at any point in time. Unless it's slightly behind-left or behind-right (e.g. to take over) in which case it's in the dead angle and can't be seen at all.

By turning his head and using the mirrors, a human cannot see most of the 360° around a car. There are obstructed angles, not to mention that the human can only look toward one direction at once.

The self driving cars with 360° vision can see things that a human couldn't. It has a chance to react where the human didn't.
