No, no - all that “useless” knowledge is the good stuff. There is no clean interface boundary for driving a car, because the only interface that has been enforced is “if a human can navigate this situation, it’s fine”. Real world driving situations can be arbitrarily complicated, and if you want >human level driving, you need human level semantic understanding of the world around you. If you see a kid about to throw a model airplane across the street in front of you, you have to bring all your “useless” world knowledge with you to recognize that as a developing hazard. If you’re supposed to bring your passenger to the city building on main and you encounter construction outside with a detour sign saying “for tax dropoff park in rear”, suddenly all of your useless knowledge about the English language, what taxes are, and the likely goal of your passenger given their destination become useful.
