Trouble is, while those pavers that allow grass to grow in them looks good at the beginning, they are highly prone to quickly losing their uniform surface. As soon as heavy vehicles drive on them when wet, they depress into the base. It's the nature of the fact that they have holes that allow the sand to squish upward. Consequently, the pavers squish downward.

Fake grass is permeable. It's not a reasonable option for a driveway. The reasonable option is a paver driveway and real grass, groundcover or mulch at its sides.

I live in SoCal and am trying to get rid of grass.. so don’t want more grass as an option..

What about concrete block pavers with pea gravel in between?

I found an article from Houzz that might help:

You might look into LEED-certified paver materials to get ideas as well; you can google LEED options for pervious driveways.
Good luck!

There are conventional ways of doing things because that's how they best work. There are certain kinds of gravel, and installation methods for it, that work as paving, Pea gravel is not one of those kinds. Too, mixing gravel and pavers for a driveway is bound to lead to a very messy looking outcome, where the pavers would never be clean of gravel. Why wouldn't you want to use ordinary pavers and let it go at that?

Yardvaark don’t need to use pea gravel just want concrete pavers and permeable space in between. Given that what would you suggest?

ordinary pavers. They are not as permeable as gravel, but more permeable than solid concrete. A small paver -- 4"x4" (standard thickness) would have more slightly more permeability than larger pavers, on account of the increased number of joints.

Try to find the local fake grass service for your garden. I have setup some fake plants and grass at my home and its really looking so amazing.
