In terms of dynamic range and color space? Yes absolutely. But for driving you don't really need a huge color space and for dynamic range you can just use separate cameras for daytime and nighttime.

You're again thinking in terms of image sensors, which is not representative of what your body is able to do. For example, your brain processes signals from all your senses combined, which allows prioritisation of things that trigger multiple senses at once. It also applies pattern matching against millions of years of evolution's worth of information about danger. But much more importantly, there is all sorts of post-processing happening that is so weird and complex and really a little decoupled from the raw visual information that it's futile to try and compare that to any digital operation you're thinking of in terms of cameras: If you were to look at a still captured from your eyes, you'd see an upside-down image that's only sharp in the very center of the image, blurry and desaturated pretty much everywhere else, grossly so in the corners, with several big black or blurry spots all over. From that perspective, eyes are awful really. Yet still, your brain manages to turn the stereoscopic vision into a spatial representation, calculate the movement and keep track of other objects relative to you, fill in areas you can't actually see, detect things moving in your peripherals, highlight things of importance, and so much more.

  What senses do you need for driving besides sight and sound? All of the rest of this is just saying "the human brain has a well trained model for objects moving around in meatspace", the replication of which is literally the research project that all autonomous driving companies are trying to solve.
