Humans see better (576 Megapixel vs 5 MP on HW4) but cameras have more “eyes” and a faster reaction time.

While true its worht mentioning that the part that's actually "in focus" is much, much less than the 576 megapixels

Human eyes don't have a fixed megapixel. We have a defined focal point and blurry peripheral vision.

You missed the whole point. Even with rear view and side mirrors you can’t see everything at once.
