Say you're a cab company or a long haul trucking company, one of your biggest expenses(salary), your biggest risk(accidents/maintenance) and biggest limitation(shift lengths) can all be eliminated by removing the driver, you're going to be one of the first people to get in line.
Yes but there is no way you remove the drive until autonomous cars have a 100% safety rate without incident for who knows how long. You might never get rid of them to be honest. Look at train engineers or pilots.
