Living in the suburbs would be much more palatable because you could convert your "drive time" to "internet/reading time".
Auto driving cars would be not be just a disruption (i hate that word) to the auto industry, it would be an earthquake that would have many aftershocks to the economy as a whole.

I'm one of those people who gets car sick unless I'm looking out the window, best in the front seat and with cool air blowing. Consequently I can't really read or Internet. (If I look at a paper map for about 60 seconds I'll be on the verge of puking.) So even if I wasn't driving I can't really use the time for anything else (can't sleep either).
