A few others to add to the list
* reduced income for cities from speeding and parking tickets, and the reduction in people who give the tickets, all the processing that goes along with that.
* availability of large lots of urban land due to lower parking needs (though there are many good uses for this like urban farming)
* significant decrease in the need for auto repair shops. Partly because electric cars have less moving parts and are more reliable than ICE, but also because autonomous cars (possibly/likely) have fewer accidents. This may not happen all at once, but as they improve..
I used to have a much larger list, but I forget what many of those are.
