Artificial eyes versus human eyes 

In this section, we will compare the requirements of artificial eyes with human eyes. In the following table, we can see the differences between the requirements of artificial eyes for self-driving cars and the capabilities of human eyes:

Self-Driving Car Requirement Human Eye
It requires 360-degree coverage around the vehicle. It has 3D vision for 130 degrees of the field of view, resulting in a blind spot. Humans can turn their heads and bodies to mitigate this.
It must identify 3D objects that are close to and far from the vehicle. The human eye's high resolution extends only to the central 50 degrees in the field of view. Outside the central zone, perception drops.
It must process real-time data. In the human eye, the frame is good in the central zone and poor in the peripheries. 
It should be able to work well in all lighting and weather conditions. Human eyes perform well in various lighting conditions,...
