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.

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.

One obvious sense is hearing, as in hearing things like sirens to move out of the way.

What's the human equivalent for lidar then?

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.

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