I can't help but think this is just a crazily, overly-complicated solution for a 'prb' that no one is really asking to solve: ppl who don't like driving should just get chauffeurs or take the bus.
I put the problem statement for Level 5 full autonomous driving like this:

I (hypothetical American person) have to drive my car to destinations which takes time, I want my car to drive itself so that I can use that time to sleep, work, phone calls, leisure, other. I will also be able to brag to my peers that do not have this technology. I dont like public transit because it is not direct to my destination and has people I dont want to be around. Plus its not My vehicle if its public. I dont like chauffeurs because they are expensive and I would rather be alone or just with my people.
