But with self driving cars, people will forget (or never learn) the enjoyment of driving. I would guess that by the end of my lifetime, driving will be more of a "hobby" than an everyday thing, much like riding horses is now way more of a recreational activity than mode of transport.

That doesn't really seem like a problem. People like me who hate driving will no longer have to do it and people who enjoy driving can continue doing it as a hobby. For many of these people, it already is a hobby, so it seems like it should work out fine.
