Uber is testing a self-driving Ford Fusion hybrid in Pittsburgh:

(It will have a human on board.)    An advantage of the hybrid may be the electric steering and computer controlled brakes, and accelerator pedal that is just a computer input, that may be relatively easy to adapt the vehicle to driving by a computer.  

 

The C-max might make a better taxi - easier access, shorter.  In any case since the C-max shares its drive system with the Fusion hybrid, it should be just as suitable for retro-fitted self-driving system.
