Or having to bend way down to get to the scanner and have accommodation compliance.

That's a great concept, but very few people have time to just drive for the sake of enjoyment. Especially if you live in a developed area. The vast majority of driving is the boring, rote commuting in heavy traffic. Self driving cars, electric or otherwise, will free up a lot of time for other enjoyment or productivity. I personally look forward to regaining those hours of my life back.
