I can see an alternate scenario happening:
Let's say, for the sake of argument, self-driving cars and truck, fully deployed, are 10 years away.
In that time we might see a move to many more drivers on the road, not less: A lot of growth in food delivery, e-commerce and in particular shuttles offering a fast,affordable, shared transport mode, as an attractive replacement for private cars in many places.
Maybe, with all of that, instead of 1/10 we'll have 2/10 of the workforce as drivers. Consider the effect their salaries have on the families, and indirect support extended families has, we could see a really strong political base against self-driving cars.
And from that point, all kinds of things could happen, to better manage or prevent that change.
