The theory of mind problems involved in driving are huge and are primarily why I don't think you could teach an non-human animal to drive on streets / in traffic.
But depth perception isn't really involved there so those theory of mind issues don't really have any bearing on the need for lidar for self driving cars. Clearly creating world models of sufficient accuracy for driving scale navigation challenges is possible (but potentially pretty hard) with just vision data.
