Don't forget that the same technology that makes autonomous cars possible also makes autonomous buses possible. That will drastically cut the cost to run buses, which makes lower fares and higher frequencies possible. That will make transit more attractive. So IMHO it's not at all certain that transit mode share is going to drop.
The technology is going to shake things up, but I don't think anyone can really predict with any certainty what the outcomes are going to be.
