Yeah.. the biggest thing that people are neglecting with these self-driving cars is ....

... Cars get dirty.

And those cameras are right at the maximum dirt level.

I really don’t know why people aren’t talking about this.

I think you might have touched on what Musk's Secret Master Plan for Tesla is...

The plan being to create self-cleaning cars, which will also clean the cameras.

Musk is such a genius!

Read an article that says the cameras are low resolution(2MP). They are low in order to decrease image processing time in order to make timely maneuvers.
