I definitely wouldn't use it all the time (sometimes I'd fly; sometimes I'd drive...maybe once or twice I'd take the train), but it would be a nice option, and I could see using it sometimes. The best use case is if you are injured or otherwise unable to fly (scuba diving?)...this presumably is more comfortable than a car, once flying is ruled out. If the schedule worked out perfectly, I'd consider using it instead of driving/flying otherwise -- if it saves a night in a hotel, could be a win.

Scuba divers are a very limited market. There are only a few thousand at most who dive along the California coast with any regularity, and few of those need to travel long distances. The standard recommendation is to allow 24 hours between diving and flying, but in reality if you've done a proper ascent it's safe to go straight from the dive boat to the airport. I've done that several times.
