No, humans do significant sensor fusion.

There's binaural audio: useful to detect and have a rough position of emergency services and/or high speeds cars(it's true that its a relatively unencumbered channel, but that makes it all the more valuables for emergencies)

And there's a working if imperfect IMU (performance can be altered if the power supply is set to an alternate mode) to sense all kinds of acceleration: for fine course correction on acceleration and bearing, for getting the road condition and adjust the driving profile accordingly, etc..
