No, it isn't.
If it were only software, don't you think Tesla should be the best of them all, being the pure software shop they are?
But it is a real world problem. Recognizing real objects in real world conditions like weather, natural and artificial lights, temperatures (want some ice on your camera?), winds & storms, all kinds of unforeseen circumstances, other bad drivers, police and firemen...
And that's why that pure software shop is so bad at it, while all the real carmakers shrug... they are used to it since forever.
You can be the best in the world and still not be good enough.
Driving a car around using a dozen cameras pointing in every direction isn't something that's fundamentally impossible. We just can't do it yet.
And don't forget vision is what humans use for navigation as well.
And a lot of them are not good at it
So you haven't recognized that other car brands' assistance/autonomous systems make less dramatic mistakes?
Literally a different thread about someone dieing from a Cruize self driving car not moving over for an ambulance.
