One use case could be senior citizens who aren't ready to give up driving entirely. I'm sure it's not easy to admit that your vision and reaction time are deteriorating to the point that you're a danger on the road. As long as we live in a car-centric society, I hope the tech has solidified by the time I reach that point.
If I lived in a utopia, I would ban all self driving vehicles except for the elderly. I think that would be sweet and probably statistically safer at a certain point.
