You'll get both, because they're complementary. Self-driving cars will cut the economic cost of electric vehicles: autotaxis will replace private ownership, and their high upfront costs will be split between many users [1]. Conversely, self-driving cars will push performance envelopes, so the EV's enormous efficiency advantage will be desirable. [1] The economics DO NOT work this way yet, because batteries degrade too quickly (Tesla is what, 500 charge-discharge cycles?). Heavier use means proportionally shorter life; no advantage. Solve battery life, and you've solved economics.
