Do you have lidar on your head? No, yet you’re able to drive with just two cameras on your face. So no lidar isn’t required. Not that driving in a very dynamic world isn’t very difficult for computers to do, it’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of time.
Would lidar allow “super human” driving abilities? Like seeing through fog and in every direction in the dark, sure. But it’s not required for the job at hand.
You have eyes that are way more amazing than any cameras that are used in self driving, with stereoscopic vision, on a movable platform, and most importantly, controlled via a biological brain with millions of years of evolution behind it.
I’m sorry, you can’t attach a couple cameras to a processor, add some neural nets, and think it’s anything close to your brain and eyes.
I remember watching a video talking about is there a camera that can see as well as a human eye. The resolution was there are cameras that see close but not as well and they are very big and expensive and the human brain filters much of it without you realizing. I think it could be done with a camera or two but I think we are not close to the technology for the near future.
I have no idea what sense of balance has to do with driving a car and even deaf people can get a driver’s license but okay. How’s this an argument for LIDAR again? It does not have anything to do with either of those things.
That’s like asking what the human equivalent of a GPU is. There isn’t one nor would there be because humans and computers are fundamentally different things.

And also, cameras don’t work that great at night. Lidar would provide better data.

Nope,
And that’s exactly why humans crash. Constantly.
Even when paying attention.
They don’t have resolution in depth perception, nor the FOV.

Humans don’t drive on sight alone.
Uhhhh… What the fuck else are the rest of you using?!
Senses to support your sight when driving? Hearing and Balance come to mind, in that order of importance as supporting senses.

My probing cane.
One obvious sense is hearing, as in hearing things like sirens to move out of the way.
FSD
What’s the human equivalent for lidar then?

Sound? Though I guess all the fancy expensive cars remove this feedback
