definitely boon. see azriels post for reasons 
also @Azriel you should fix your sig
the problem i see is with integrating the driverless cars into traffic.
the easiest thing for the AI would be to only have driverless cars in traffic, or at least have all cars equipped with some sensors.
its not possible though to just replace every single car at once, so the AI has to be tweaked to work with human drivers (which are more prone to street rule violations for example).
personally im not even planning to get a drivers license. i know, it will be long before we actually have driverless cars in germany, but in my city i can reach everything by bike and my college grants me a free pass for public traffic as long as im studying. the only times i would need a car would be long journeys (with destinations that cannot be reached by bus or train) and moving out (which i currently am, haha). but even if i need to rent a car (and possibly driver if none of my friends has time) for those events, the cost is still way less that maintaining a car all year round. not to mention a drivers license isnt free either.
