Planes that weigh themselves

I was having a few drinks with some pilot friends the other night when one of them said...

'in this day and age, why aren't planes built with a self-weighing system?'

since we can go to the moon, auto-land planes in bad weather, why aren't planes built with such a capability and do away with averages and estimates regarding actual payload carried?

can anyone shed some light on this perhaps?
