I remember back in the late 1970s when ATMs first started appearing and my father swore to never use one of those "infernal" machines and insisted on going inside the bank to a human teller. He had all these nightmare scenarios such as how the money wouldn't come out and your account would get charged for the withdrawal nonetheless. Or you'd make a deposit and the money would conveniently "disappear." All apparently valid concerns at the time that many people had.
Fast forward nearly 40 years later, my father (now in his 80s) not only has been using ATMs for decades but now does online banking and uses apps on his tablet to order and pay for things just like any other teenager he loves to criticize for always "having their faces buried in a screen."
For better or for worse, technology has a way of permeating itself into society and changing the way people do things. Eventually, even the most resistant among us are pulled along.
As for driverless vehicles, even today it seems a bit outlandish. Just like how trusting a machine to dispense cash and take your deposits did back in 1979. But anybody paying attention can see that it is coming, whether we like it or not.
It won't be long before the driverless truck steals the tellerless ATM machine.
