There is also a comparison of camera, LiDAR and Radar technologies of autonomous vehicles:
Another Loup Ventures article tries to answer on question "If a human can drive a car based on vision alone, why can’t a computer?"
"While we believe Tesla can develop autonomous cars that “resemble human driving” primarily driven by cameras, the goal is to create a system that far exceeds human capability. For that reason, we believe more data is better, and cars will need advanced computer perception technologies such as RADAR and LiDAR to achieve a level of driving far superior than humans. However, since cameras are the only sensor technology that can capture texture, color and contrast information, they will play a key role in reaching level 4 and 5 autonomy and in-turn represent a large market opportunity."
