I guess this is kind of the rub.
I don't want an autonomous car that is essentially a cab to be used and abused by anyone. It would be cool (and really cheap) to share a car with (for example) four other people who live in my building. Just having a random vehicle show up is not something I'm interested in either.
Technically, we could share a car right now, but the problem is that if you take the car to work, it's gone. It stays there all day. That's why we all have our own cars now. If I can get it to drive me to work and go home and be accessible to the other people that own it, well that's just super.
Thousands of dirty generic little cars whirring around doesn't appeal to me either.
