Why? Is a self-driving car fundamentally different than a taxi? If you're an urbanite, you have access to taxis and public transport already. If you're a non-urbanite, it's going to take a while for that self-driving car to arrive, and you may prefer not to waste that much time - not to mention that there are lots of places where calling is not an available option :-)
