'Common sense' could probably use a more precise definition in this context. It could be defined as the responses that an individual develops over time due to experience. For example, one can learn not to touch a fire because of the painful burn, and then it becomes 'common sense' not to stick your hands in a flame.
Additionally, common sense could develop as a social phenomenon, in which one learns behavior from watching others, or verifies sensory information by checking with others. For example, we quickly learn that wearing clothes in public is expected behavior, and we also check with others if we sense something unusual or threatening (did you hear that loud bang? do you smell that gas leak? etc.).
Teaching computational systems this version of common sense would require the system to have senses and the ability to learn from that sensory input, and also the ability to check the veracity of information / acceptable behavioral decisions with other similar systems. Groups of drones seem capable of doing something like this, coordinating their behavior by checking each other's position.
