No, that problem is overcooked government regulation that sees people who want to work as a source of revenue. But also one of just basic math. Businesses always want to shrink costs. Self driving cars have been the dream of the commercial driving industry for a long long time.
Licensing requirements are not "overcooked government regulation", from the standpoint of basic economics, a license to operate a cab generates rent, same goes for a liquor license. Owning a car is another activity that requires a license, but increases liberty, while not owning a pool of vehicles that will be similarly limited in number in order to keep them profitable decreases it.
