I don't think this will be very effective in the long run as a way to stop driverless cars, which promise to help all kinds of people currently unable or unwilling to drive to get around. Likely Scenario: The driver behind notices the driverless car is immobilized by the traffic cone. They get out, remove the traffic cone, get back in their car and then they and the driverless car go on their way. Sounds alot easier than helping push a broken down human driven car out of the way.

From recent headlines, it sounds like people are protesting the fact their city is being used as an alpha testing site and causing a nuisance. I don't think its necessarily in protest of the technology in general, but the irresponsible way these things are let loose on the road without a person there to get it out of the way when it gridlocks. Its an issue that can be solved by spending relatively little money on a test driver's salary that they're purposefully avoiding to save money and avoid responsibility.

Self driving cars are just another rent extraction scheme from billionaire venture capitalists.
