One of my friends has a Nissan Leaf and uses it for all his day-to-day commuting and errands. He absolutely loves it, but the only major drawback is that he is pretty much limited to round trips of 100 km or less. Public charging areas are still rare at this point. He has another gasoline vehicle for longer trips. I am considering getting a Leaf as well.
I could see a similar situation with automated cars for the first while where people rely on them for most things, but still have a back-up vehicle for trips or for going off the beaten path.
