"Where is my (driverless) car"? In other words, "where the hell did I park"?
These are words you may never have to utter again, once driverless cars are available.
Think about it ... you will no longer worry about getting to work early to avoid parking too far away for an easy walk to the office. The car will drop you off like a school run, then go and park itself. Pick up is the same in reverse.
Apartments will no longer need to include parking spaces, just a pick up/drop off/loading zone. The car park can be some multi-storey maybe a kilometre or more away, shared by many apartment blocks (and it doesn't even have to be ugly, it could be concealed any way you like since humans don't have to be able to find it).
Even if long-distance/highway driving is too much of a stretch, being able to get home from the restaurant on the other side of town when you're over 0.05 is a boon, so navigation aids and safety systems limited to cities and towns might be enough to reap the major benefits. But no doubt major highways would get appropriate systems anyway.
And city-wide traffic optimisation in concert with lights, lanes that change direction on demand and intersection behaviour that changes according to time of day (and modelled/monitored traffic flow) would reduce congestion ... and stress.
The drive home is when you could catch up on the news, social media, etc. even more so than the bus or train due to increased privacy and lack of annoyance to fellow passengers, which is a time-saver. (And you don't have to hold in a fart ... oh, come on, we all do it
).
No more being blinded from overly bright oncoming headlights. Or restricted vision due to heavy rain.
No more screaming at all the morons on the road (except you, of course ... you're the good driver and everyone
else is a moron ...).
And when all cars are driverless, does it really matter if you own a car? Communal cars would be relatively more popular, and efficient.
Yup, driverless cars will be good (when they actually get them to work properly and reliably).
