I would imagine all the extra sensors and gadgets on the waymo are just to make up for the deficiencies in software. Because technically all humans use to drive is one stereoscopic camera on a swivel. So with advanced enough software there should be no reason it couldn't be done with just vision.
This is the problem though. To do it just with vision you’d have to re-create the part of the human mind responsible for spatial awareness, reasoning and our ability to extrapolate future location of an object relative to us. Base on a stereo cameras which are our 2 eyes. If you can do that, than cameras are all we need. But we are nowhere there right now. And the Waymo cars already drive with a liquid cooled super computer in the back.
