Add to the list: * alleviates parking issues because the car can be told to go park somewhere 1) less congested and 2) less expensive. One of the problems in cities is the complete lack of temporary parking being consumed by all-day workers, especially those with handicap placards who are not handicapped. 95% of the time I see someone getting out of a car and hanging up the placard they are not disabled (ie, not in a wheelchair or seem to have any handicap at all). The lack of parking around businesses is a huge problem. Around my office, where there are lots of restaurants and other businesses, most of the parking is taken all day by handicap placard using commuters. This means there are fewer parking spaces for people to park and shop. That decreases sales in the shops in this area. Bad for everyone. Basically, I won't even shop in areas of restricted parking availability. It's not worth the 30+ minutes of hunting for parking.
