Common sense is not just a large number of sanity checks, it also includes the ability to solve some of the problems identified by failed sanity checks. For example, common sense might lead you to break the road rules in an emergency, or drive a car with a safety problem for a short distance instead of getting it towed.

Imagine something like a dangerous situation -- there is an oncoming fire or flood, and you need to get out of there, but your self-driving car decides to do a precautionary stop because one of the sensors stopped working. People are totally underestimating the intelligence required to make these types of decisions. Surrendering your mobility to a program is a much bigger hurdle than people think, and the bar is much higher than being able to successfully avoid collisions.
