Negligible impact on real estate.
If you live in the vast majority of the landmass that has no public transportation, your commute isn't long enough for a self-driving car to register on the factors in where you live. If you live in places with great public transportation, then it seems like it matters less--you now inherit issues (and cost) with parking and maintenance you didn't have before.
If you're looking for real estate impact, consider the aging population and the ability of self-driving cars to keep people in their houses longer than they normally would. Along with the factors above, I see the big beneficiaries being the service providers (anything from Uber to grocery stores to healthcare providers) who can now optimize location and distribution differently.
