But we know that the sensor suite must be at least as good as a human; more vision, plus other sensors. Therefore we know the sensor suite is sufficient to be as good as (and likely better than) a human.

We don't, a badly placed wet leaf, some amount of snow or vibrations may well impact the sensors in ways they wouldn't a human driver.

It's not. For example, the eye has much higher dynamic range than any camera sensor available today. Try taking a picture at night that looks half as decent as it does in your head.
