It's also predicted that if self-driving vehicles become viable and ubiquitous, you'll also see a shortage of organs since a significant amount of organ donation rely on vehicle fatalities and in theory, self driving vehicles should be safer. I'm sure its not coincidental that organ donation opt-in is closely tied with most state drivers licenses and renewals.
I haven't seen an analysis but I suspect you'll also see a lot of municipal revenue streams cut down when if self-driving cars or other transports become popular. I know a lot of small towns rely on lots of interstate traffic tickets to help balance their budgets. I suspect most those violations will decrease significantly with autonomous transport. I'm not sure how many cities/towns at large are reliant on these sort of revenue streams but I presume increased taxes would need to pickup the bill.
