Parking will get cheaper, if anything:
- Electric AVs can park themselves 5x further away with no UX downside and minimal energy cost.
- Nobody needs to use the doors while parked, and AVs can cooperatively rearrange themselves to allow ingress or egress, meaning they can park with almost no clearance in all directions.
- Parking garages can be designed with the assumption that vehicles are driven with perfect precision, allowing wasted aisle space to be significantly reduced.
