This makes perfect sense, and if I had money to invest in this market, I would. Self-driving cars coupled with such an infrastructure means a very profitable business in the not-too-distant future.
The highest cost for taxis is not the cars, nor the gas, but the drivers. Get rid of them, and it's all gravy.
Something like this is most certainly the "mass" transit of the future. It would be lower cost, more convenient, and would actually pollute less than buses during non-peak times.
