      No, and neither are your eyes, but you can still see the world in 3D.

      You can use normal cameras to create 3D images by placing two cameras next to each other and creating a stereogram. Alternatively, you can do this with just one camera by taking a photo, moving it slightly, and then taking another photo - exactly what cameras in a moving vehicle are doing all the time. Objects closer to the camera move differently than the background. If you have a billboard with a person on it, the background in that picture moves differently relative to the person than the background behind an actual person would.

        That’s a grossly misleading statement.
        We definitely use 2 eyes to achieve a 3D image with depth perception.

        So the question is obviously whether Tesla does the same with their Camera AI for FSD.

        IDK if they do, but if they do, they apparently do it poorly. Because FSD has a history of driving into things that are obviously (for a human) in front of it.
