Security, by not making human mistakes. But this won't happen for a long time and probably never with people like Musk leading the way.

Autonomous vehicles are a poor substitute for long-promised flying cars anyway.

Flying cars already exist, they are called helicopters.

What you really want is the TCO of a car in a helicopter.

Helicopters are outside of reach of an everyday person. You can't drive them when you feel like it nor start your journey on your suburban driveway.

And so were cars at one point. Helicopters are still "flying cars", airplanes are "flying busses".
