"Reductionism" is right. If you could just always "plug the gaps with more sensors", then the car with 900 cameras and 400 LIDARs would have reached L4 autonomy back in year 2010.
It doesn't work like that. No amount of sensors can salvage piss poor driving AI. The gains from more and better sensors bottom out pretty fast. You completely saturate your ability to sink and fuse sensor data long before your driving actually gets good.
