I see this happening in the near future for many different reasons, even more than you mentioned above. No more DUIs. No more accidents from texting and driving or Facebooking and driving. This is a world changing and practical idea. From what I understand, they already have the grid and infrastructure system laid out for most larger cities and highways. And Google has already made and displayed the "Driverless Car". Soooooo, it's just a matter of time.
