One common reason people give for not biking is that they're afraid someone driving a car will kill them. Self-driving cars should reduce that risk.
Of course, they also should make commuting by car cheaper and more relaxing/less of a waste of time, so you're likely correct, but there is that competing force that may increase cycling rates.
