Almost everything you list are things that would make life better. Less government intrusion. Fewer accidents, pain, and death. No more getting ripped off by insurance companies. Less need for police to waste time on minor stuff. The ability to live life drunk all the time. Etc. This would lower costs all over and make for a much more efficient ecomomy.
It would also favor adoption to electric cars because it could better manage their characteristics. When an auto-auto's battery needed charging it would simply be routed to a charger. If you had to make a trip that was longer than the battery life, another auto-auto would pick you up and relay you to your destination. So less global warming too.
