Sensor fusion? Absolutely required. Also, I think "AI Fusion" is needed, where different AI approaches evaluate a situation. Maybe a supervisor DNN AI which is looking at the output from the AIs below, inferring patterns. DNNs (alone) are incapable of Level 5. OTOH, it's conceivable that in this limited domain, a "Society of AIs" might yield 'acceptable' performance ( 1K deaths per year? ). I would also like to see a given driving system rated at maximum speed for autonomous use. If you're moving at 5 MPH and your stopping distance (reaction time + coming to a stop) is 5 feet, then your 'Zone of Despair' is the 5 feet in front of you (and some on either side). If you absolutely know this Zone is clear, you can proceed with confidence. It's a hellishly difficult problem; but I don't think it requires AGI to solve 'adequately'.
