This sounds great until you've had to repair an old car.
Everything rusts, warps, etc. The same things that make it hard to change your brakes will make it hard to change the battery pack, and you're expecting a robot to do it for you (and fast!).
There were companies built on this idea. I think they've all gone under at this point.
The things that seize do so because they are infrequently operated/removed so I don't see that being the main issue with this.
It still ain't happening any time soon though...
Aside from not having to charge I think the biggest benefit to this would be charging the packs off peak to even out grid load, or when there is excess solar etc.
