I think there's more stuff:
* Inner city car transport will become more popular, since parking won't be a huge limit
* Self-driving rideshare cars can outcompete there consumer counterparts on price - there's no need for a powerful engine, and a large battery since it will be used for small distances at low speeds.
* Car ownership will plummet, which will free a ton of expensive parking lot real-estate to be developed
* Ridesharing will reduce the amount of cars by 2x-4x, eliminating traffic jams
* Owning a house with an 1 hour commute outside city limits will be much more feasible, as you can just sit in the car, and commute into the city, generally the value of inner city lots will go down.

I think this is an absolutely monumental shift.
