In my understanding: Your brain does two things automatically that are currently difficult for computer vision: fast and good object recognition; and comparing the history of object to track it.
Currently CV can be good or fast, but not really both.
Also, contrariwise, your brain is actually terrible at depth perception and object recognition, and employs many tricks to approximate depth perception and recognition[0]

I don't have any special knowledge on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if self-driving car companies are using Lidar to train CV algorithms.
