"We're trying to have those conversations with Elon to establish what the sensors would need to do," Baglino added. "And they were really difficult conversations, because he kept coming back to the fact that people have just two eyes and they can drive the car."

But people have human brains, unlike Teslas or their CEO. Conversely, goldfish have two eyes, yet cannot drive a car.

Actually...(This is in no way a defense of Musk. Just kinda funny)

I was just about to mention the goldfish "driving the tank" robotics project. I'm still betting it was inspired by the old joke:

There are two goldfish in a tank. One says "How the hell do you drive this thing?"

What a fantastic day to have eyes

We have two identical forward looking eyes for stereo vision. As far as I know, Tesla's don't even have that. They're all different cameras with different angles. These cars drive like someone with one eye closed.
