The other (perhaps longer term) thing that might come out of self-driving vehicles is that we'll finally get flying cars. This biggest obstacle to that has never really been technology, but the fact that it takes hundreds of hours of training to fly light aircraft and a bunch of people flying around town would be extremely dangerous. But if they're all drones controlled by a central air traffic system, it could happen.
