I'd like to offer another use case, one near and dear to my heart: grandma.

My grandmother, like many grandmothers, has no business being on the road. She is a wonderful person. She is also a horrible driver, a threat to herself and others by virtue of natural impairments (vision, reaction time, etc.)

Taking away her license would make all roads safer, but it would also obliterate her quality of life. The actual need for driverless cars, to me, is a means of retaining her freedom of movement with a far lower level of endangerment.
