Self-driving cars are the next big unknown in the parking industry. Will they reduce the number of cars on the road? Where will they live? How does parking fit into the driverless future of the world?
There are a lot of things that will become apparent only when the actual moment is upon us when we automatically take shotgun in the car instead of the driver’s seat. We can, however, already discuss the potential scenarios that autonomous vehicles will create in cities.
In short, yes. Self-driving cars are cars just as well, and while they might not be off the road 95 % of the time like cars nowadays, they will by no means be on the move 100 % of the time.
For people who own their very own self-driving vehicles, parking will remain a need just like it is right now. The fact whether or not there’s someone behind the wheel when you’re on the move plays no significance as to whether the car needs a place to stay overnight.
