Or until we are able to change the nature of driving to make it require less creativity. As a simple examples, I suspect a road network where all cars were self-driving would probably be an easier software problem.

If Only.
Single-track railroad like in airport terminal-to-terminal transport? Fine.
Out on the open rail network? Not even close. And that is a LOT more constrained & predictable than an open road network.
Getting to all cars being software-driven seems as much in the near-mid future as was the idea of having full vehicle-to-vehicle telemetry &communications - i.e., sounded like a great idea until it crashed on the rocks of practicality (and inter-corporate politics?); not likely happening in a relevant time frame.
