If "we" haven't decided it's worth it, it's likely "we" are wrong. Trillions of dollars and an untold number of of lives have been lost to inefficient human driven transport. See also: Every preventable driving accident ever, and every dollar ever spent on transport for further details.
Are you implying that automating it might somehow NOT be the most important innovation since the invention of penicillin, or are you implying that it can't be automated? Sorry, it may be that I'm dense, but I'm actually not clear what your argument here is.

Hell, if self-driving cars came out tomorrow, they wouldn't even be the most important innovation in the last two years (that would be the COVID vaccines).
