Driving helps you get good inside shots, I think this is pretty much self-explanatory.
If you read the rules verbatim, driving could help any type of shot:
Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a team-mate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.
My preliminary thought is that driving helps a lot under the new engine, especially in a look inside, since it is harder to get good passes into your inside players.
I have also added to that the need for players to have jump shot in a look inside. My analysis so far seems to show that under the new engine, (with all things being equal) about 40% of your shots are short jumpers with another 40% being inside shots. The remaining 10% are long jumpers or 3 point shots (where higher range would be more important).
This is just a preliminary analysis, though and needs more investigation. That's why I wanted to know if Acajou had some evidence for his theory. It is also one of the reasons why I think that a 3-2 zone is currently working better against a look inside offense.
