"when I used to commute to work, I would change lanes at exactly the same point every day."
Wouldn't it be easier to just take a train then? :-)

I personally would have to drive a half hour to get to a train station, hardly a time saver. I live in Connecticut, one of the more densely populated states, which is even somewhat part of the NYC transit system. I can't imagine what it's like in other areas of the country. (My current job is the first time I actually would take the train if it was available to me).
Worth it? Don't think so.
Working remotely is often impossible because of security policies and also not the same in terms of presence.
Difficult :)
What location are we talking about?
For a 10 minute commute today, I would have pitch in another 100K for living. My experience at the moment is working 5 years for same client/location on average.
P.S. If I move out I can reclaim some of that 100K, some go to tax, fluctuating prices, I don't calculate inconvenience of moving and stressful location etc. details.
