Re: [sensors] Should sensor EventSource be immediately available or should they be accessed through a promise?

Various comments in #8 are related to this conversation, notably 
around the opportunity of being able to fallback from highly specific 
sensor subclasses (e.g. `BlindSpotProximitySensor`) to more generic 
ones (e.g. `ProximitySensor`) in case where the specificity of a 
sensor could only be defined as it sends data. TBH, I'm not sold on 
why we'd be able to know a sensor is of the `ProximitySensor` type 
without accessing it but wouldn't be able to know it's more precisely 
a `BlindSpotProximitySensor` until actually accessing it. @richtr?
