Learn English – Comparing “got used to”, “have gotten used to”, “get used to”, “will get used to” and “have used to”

meaning-in-context

I was going to somewhere by taxi in Delhi. Most of the drivers were
blowing their horns, non-stop! I asked my driver, "would you please stop
it? I am not in a rush." He said, "No ma'am! Because I am in a rush and the
others too." I said, "it seems you have not gotten used to traffic!" He
said, "No ma'am! We got used to it but now we want a change." I said, "but
this non-stop loud noise is making me crazy!" He laughed and said, "Yes
ma'am but please tolerate it for some hours. You will get used to it
like us!"

Would you please help me to get their differences? Above story helps you to find some examples of right and wrong usages.

The phrasal verb to get used to means to “get or become familiar or accustomed with through experience”, ie, to become habituated to something.

The several forms in the sample text – gotten used to, got used to, will get used to – merely show different forms of verb to get: past participle gotten, simple past got, and future will get, where will is an auxiliary expressing future tense.
