tl;dr: Autonomous driving uses a whole host of multiple and different kinds of sensors. Musk said "NO, WE WILL ONLY USE VISION CAMERA SENSORS." And that doesn't work.

Guess what? I have eyes; I can see. You know what I want an autonomous vehicle to be able to do? Receive sensory input that I can't.

We also use way more than just our eyes to navigate. We have accelerometers (ear canals), pressure sensors (touch), Doppler sensors (ears) to augment how we get around. It was a fools errand to try and figure everything out just with cameras.

Also you can alter the vision input by moving your head, blocking the sun with your hand etc.

This seems like a classic case of ego from Musk.
