4. Employment

Self-driving cars will replace taxis and most trucking, leaving hundreds of thousands if not millions of people out of work. The removal of truckers will also spell the death knell for many other jobs that depend on them, truck stops and fueling stations across the country (with no need to stop every X hours it will make sense to enlarge the fuel tanks significantly).

Most likely even delivery drivers will start to fall by the wayside, UPS and FedEx can have self-driving vehicles that arrive when you want them to instead of needing to run a specific route so that the driver doesn’t get overtime, if you want a delivery at 2AM they’ll be able to have one of their trucks make that run.
