The same reasons they might want to own a non-driverless car. So they can hop in it and go when they want to. So they can keep it filled with their personal items always easily accessible. So the quality of the vehicle they ride in is to their personal liking. As a status symbol. Because they live in a rural area without other options, etc.
...but if they did, they could still leave it for the towing service and take a ride in another vehicle to go somewhere else.
What if they don't want to layout money for a tow? Ever drive at night in southwest Atlanta? Leave it for the towing service if the towing service gets there first...
