This might seem minor compared to the other real estate trends that self driving cars will bring about, but it's interesting to think about what might happen to all the land in urban and suburban American that is currently on-street parking. Hopefully we'll see some creative uses for it, such as gardens, bike lanes, or outdoor seating for cafes, instead of just letting it lie underutilized. Maybe on some streets we'll get something similar to the woonerfs [1] in the Netherlands, with streets being shared by cyclists, pedestrians, and slow moving self driving cars.
