This assertion: Self driving isn't a sensor problem, its a software problem. is hard to support today. Your human vision analogy leaves out a lot of both sensor and processing differences between what we call machine vision and human vision.

Even if parity with human vision can be attained, humans kill 42,000 other American humans each year on the roads. If human driven cars were invented today, and pitched as killing only 42,000 people per year, the inventor would get thrown into a special prison for supervillains.
