Yes, we are discussing the benefits and limitations of computer vision, object detection and path planning.
I am at least.
We are not discussing whether because life is not a computer game, and some outcomes of actions are unknown, that somehow a computer will never be as good as a human at driving.
No we are not I don't know where you get this idea from.
Because obviously as the human is also operating in this same unknown environment, the statement is flawed, and is not really worth discussing.
Humans make sense of the world and have cognitive abilities that are hard to replicate in a computer. Parsing natural language, making sense of images and so on, it's not a flawed statement, it's commonly understood and accepted.

Indeed. I happen to know this from experience. But my argument, if I was to put it in a sentence, is that this drawback is adequately countered by the significant benefits from reaction time, radar sensors, lack of exhaustion, distraction and frustration and dynamic modelling that a computer is capable of.
I'm not saying that a computer doesn't have benefits...
