While I sort of like the idea, there's still going to be lots of traffic in and around those bus/van depots. We're also going still need storage near urban downtowns for all those 1-person cars that spend 95% of their day idle waiting for the 5pm rush.

In between peak times, these vehicles could do same-day goods delivery.

One pulls up outside your office/residence and a Boston Dynamics Cheetah leaps out with your package between it's teeth.

Or the car acts as a mothership for sidewalk to door airborne drones.

You could probably get a lot more density with a custom built car storage facility. No need to accommodate pedestrians, cars of different sizes, or random access.
