>but I thought stop-and-go city driving was something everyone could agree on as being worthwhile to eliminate.
It's mixed. Driving is both a career and a pastime/hobby. I can certainly see a long term (30+ year) shift to AI driving being a hindrance to the latter, even if the efficiencies would be massive (e.g. there wouldn't be such thing as "stop and go city driving" to the extent of modern day driving. Stop and go is a product of inefficient human sensors and signalling).
As a career, yes. It probably won't exist in 20 years at this rate.
