Without memory association, the meaning of the red light would be unknown.
Without motor abilities, you cannot press the brake to stop.
Without senses you can’t detect that there is a traffic light ahead.
Even with sensory input, motor abilities and associated memories, if you lack proper judgement, your brain will fail to grasp risks associated with a situation.
Light schmight...who cares? Still pressing the gas What's a red light for? Is that a light?

The more information circuits the brain can integrate at once, the more complex its response to a scenario can be.
The simplest response is a reflex, in which sensory stimulus triggers an immediate motor response.
More complex responses are possible when the brain integrates sensory stimuli with additional forms of information, such as memory.
