In the real world, they'd be more like taxis and less like cozy little recliner-bearing offices. Smelly, worn out, and filthy. Not something you'd want to spend a lot of time in.
The problem they'd really be solving is parking, allowing downtowns to be more dense without huge expenditures in public transport. I think a more reasonable approach would be to admit we have just about completely failed (in the US) when it comes to public transport, put aside our pork for a year or two and build some.

Unlike taxis, where your choices are "take the first one you see" or "wait a long time for a called one to come" the rule would be "the closest one to you that meets the standards of the company you asked to send one" comes. Or if you are in a real hurry and did not plan ahead even a few minutes, you take the first one that might be dirty.
