Self-driving cars occasionally crash because their visual systems can’t always process static or slow-moving objects in 3D space. In that regard, they’re like the monocular vision of many insects, whose compound eyes provide great motion-tracking and a wide field of view but poor depth perception.
Except for the praying mantis.
A praying mantis’s field of view also overlaps between its left and right eyes, creating binocular vision with depth perception in 3D space.
