I think the indifference is a function of just how marginal the utility is.
Before self-driving cars, it's either: (1) I'm getting chauffeured around (2) I'm doing something tedious and boring until I arrive at my destination.
With self-driving cars: (1) I'm getting chauffeured around (2) I'm doing something tedious and boring or something entertaining until I arrive at my destination.
Like who cares how novel and futuristic the implementation is? The utility is nearly the same.
