Exactly. I've heard this argument before, that "humans only need their eyes so you only need one forward-pointing camera" but this makes no sense to me. Humans turn around and look at stuff. Your head moves around constantly. You wouldn't trust something like this on the highway, much less in a city.
Nobody has "solved self-driving," not even close. Both Hotz and Musk keep repeating this same bullshit and neither of them has managed anything more than fancy lanekeep assist on the highway, and in the case of Tesla, a really unsafe city driver.
