I agree. Law enforcement will definitely have to change, though. Right now, traffic infractions are a way for the police to look for other criminal activity. Pulled over for speeding? Cool - let's run your license to see if you have any warrants. Let's see if I can find something else that you're doing.
Self-driving cars will completely remove this avenue of investigation because there will be much fewer infractions.
I think that this is a good thing and a bad thing. On the one hand, you won't get police harassing random innocent people on the off-chance that they're criminals. On the other hand, the police will start doing other things because they don't have to pull people over anymore, and those things might be much more invasive.
