Large dynamic range is a good thing, in audio and video.

a good thing for accurately reproducing the original signal.

But many people watching a show at home would like to just watch the damn movie without anything being particularly loud or resorting to subtitles. Decent range compression achieves that. Applying information theory to a Sunday night movie is stupid.

    if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away?

    I don't know for sure and I can't think of a good way to test. It certainly wouldn't hit it when "driving itself" with smart cruise control or if I tried to drive into it from a few metres away.

    I want vehicles that rely on cameras for detecting obstacles to be banned.

    Anything that uses reasonable object detection methods should be banned if it lets you drive into a house. My Kia won't let me drive into a house.
