I'd argue that the most useful aspect of driverless cars is going to be as short-range taxis. I live in San Diego. We're not LA but we're not tiny. I'd take the trolley basically everywhere if I could but that would increase my ride time by somewhere around an hour and a half. The VAST majority of that time isn't waiting for the trolley. It's sitting on a bus and waiting for it to take me to the trolley station which is only two miles away from where I live. If I drive to the trolley station, my A-to-B ride time becomes about fourty minutes total. If I could just buy a bus pass that included autonomous pickup that shuttled me quickly to the trolley station then I would give up my car in a heartbeat.
