I think jitney type services and private taxi type services in major urban areas will come along first. It will be a bit longer before driverless cars will pick you up wherever your are. I'd agree that the majority of people in most of the nation would prefer private transport, so the initial use of driverless multi passenger transport will be likely be in areas where people are already taking multi-passenger transport. At least in the near term, I think such vehicles will be incorporating into existing transportation modalities. It will be much longer, if ever, before they significantly alter our current transportation patterns.
