I actually did that while traveling to work this very morning :) No need to dive into the future for that. It's called public transportation.

I drove to work today because my wife ankle was sore. I have a book I've been trying to finish and the 30 minute drive sorta annoyed me. I could have been so much more productive during that time.

I also drive from Canada to Florida multiple times a year. 24 hours wasted but it's better than flying, more freedom to stop and relax, better food and less stress overall and more space to carry stuff. With these cars I'd be in heaven (not literally).

The people complaining will be those who drive their own cars and are paying attention to how the computers drive.

They will complain that the robots are driving so nicely and defensively? That seems unlikely.

No, there will be complaints about how slow they drive because, without a doubt, there will be legislation requiring these cars not exceed the maximum posted speed limit.
