No, we use both our perception and proprioception when we drive or walk for that matter. We have two accute visual sensors mounted in a housing with six degrees of freedom and a sensor feedback mechanism.
We also have fairly sensitive motion and momentum sensors all throughout our bodies. Additionally we have audio sensors feeding into our positional model.
All this data is fed into an advanced computing system that can trivially separate out sensor noise from useful signal. The computing system controls the vehicle, navigates, and even performs low priority background tasks like wondering if the front door of the house was locked.
We have dozens of integrated sensor inputs. It's just silly to assume we only use our eyes when driving. They're certainly an important sensor for driving but definitely not the only one.

If you ever review your Tesla Dashcam footage you'll see that you can rarely even make out a license plate. The cameras are not even HD, let alone UHD. Further the refresh rate is a paltry 36fps. Drive the car at high noon or night and you realize how poor the dynamic range is with highlights and/or shadows get lost.
