There's a massive difference between a good audiobook and TTS. A good audiobook is a "performance" in every sense of the word.
I would not listen to an audiobook while driving.. it requires too much concentration on the book to drive. Now safe enough. It's like holding a cell phone while driving. I won't do that either. But I will se the speakerphone part of my cell easily.
