Financial entities with so much vested in human driven cars will really push fear of driverless cars and disinformation, like potential software glitches, in spite of the overwhelming evidence that they are extremely safe, and don't require any transponders. They see vastly more than any human can, and don't play favorites about what they will drive into or not. Every year that Google plays it safe by not producing, is another year where 34000 people will die in or by cars crashing.
In the near term I see cycling contracting a bit, but with a long term increase. If driverless cars do come out, more people will ride for the sense of control and freedom, and because it will be percieves as much safer. But, they will encourage many more vehicle miles.
