Great point. We use far more than just vision.

I just imagined myself driving without sound. That seems crazy to me. I need to hear cars, kids playing, etc.

And you're right that we subconsciously assign risk values to each car. A heavily modified BMW with decals? Could be an irresponsible young male adult trying to show off on the road. I should probably be prepared to brake or let him go first.
