As self driving becomes common, people won't bother with getting a driving license. States that do can actually put in decent levels of restrictions and competency to get one rather than letting an 16 year old with 5 minutes driving round a car park out on the road.

As fewer people get new licesnse, the demand for self-driving goes down as people who can drive the legacy way die off.
