Well, Teslas use low cost consumer cameras. Not DSLRs. Bad framerate, bad resolution and bad dynamic range. Very far from human vision and easily blinded and completely washed out by sudden shifts in light.

You can compare the size of the cameras used in Tesla with the size (of the lenses at least) on the Waymo rig, and they do not look like they’re in the same league, optically.

I’m consistently surprised by how my Tesla can see a traffic light with the sun directly behind it. They seem to have solved the washout problem in practice.
