This is my main point when discussing self-driving cars. Every minute spent on a commute is essentially time wasted, if I could do whatever I wanted while driving I wouldn't mind an hour long commute. The fact that we'd be distanced from the stress of driving, as you say, is also a great benefit, we're not really made for coping with the irritating nature of congested driving.
