With driverless cars, no-one will be breaking road rules, eg speeding, running red lights, so police won't have to monitor driver behaviour nor spend time giving traffic tickets = more time for police to work on crime.

Most of that is automated now anyway ( cameras )
I have driven to Adelaide about a dozen times in the last 12 months
and i saw very few police cars. They are all already behind desks looking at computers, vs handing out tickets ( unless there is a specified blitz on ).
And again, if the desired advantage is "control" of the population and where/when it can go, then microchipped people is the next step.
As i mentioned, Auto drive in the CBD areas may work well, but for 100% coverage it has to work everywhere, and private ownership/use has to be banned. I cant see that happening as big business wont provide a service in regions that have little return on their investment ( read that as 95% of Australia.
