One place where driverless tech might work is in a place like a port loading/unloading setting - it’s like a warehouse situation, only bigger. You can get more vehicles and more cargo moved to staging areas with less congestion and delays. But you’d need a team of workers to program and maintain all that equipment, so you change the kind of workers being employed.
One big advantage of a driverless car: you need not park it near where you are working/shopping/living. You can send it off to a garage on the outskirts of town or even send it off on errands until you need to summon it.
