Human drivers have less sensory capability than a machine driver can have, but we compensate with situational awareness from general intelligence. For a machine, direct sensory knowledge of what's solid and how far away everything is has a lot more added value. If the machine driver sees something it has little experience with, it can't reason about its properties, but if it knows it's a solid object in its path, it can take action in spite of that.
