We get it; your intuition is faster than a computer and better than other humans.
An automated system would still preserve the ability to intervene if you intuit a dangerous situation. In the mean time, it would monitor a much larger number of things and react in fractions of a second.
This has already been used successfully in aviation for decades.
Your argument is similar to saying that not wearing a seat belt is safer than wearing one, because there are some situations where being ejected from the vehicle is safer than being strapped inside it.
Obviously, cars will not become autonomous until the research shows that it is more safe than manual driving.

I sense that you are being facetious. Just in case you aren't, read through the previous comments to understand what the many advantages would be. In those comments, you will find no mention of "taking jobs from people".
As far as job elimination is concerned; it eventually happens with most jobs. We no longer have elevator operators, they had to get new jobs (and the elevators work autonomously without much issue).
Preserving jobs is not a goal of any rational person. However, adapting to an ever changing job market should be.
