The reason why we can discover absolute truth only in in mathematics is because we can only gain full observability on those things we have built ourselves. All physical things (even those we make) are built from parts with unobservable and thus potentially unknown properties.

What counts more than absolute truth is an ability to recover from error, like a self driving car that is veering slightly onto the road side, and immediately correcting for the error avoiding a crash.

Well, of course absolute truth would have been nicer, so we'd never veer. But in the face of the difficulty to obtain it, you are correct. It is a shame that governments are usually designed with more with truth implementation in mind than with error correction.
