It's very easy to imagine this happening, mainly because the economic incentives line up for everyone involved. If you are a garage owner, you could create a "networked self-parking car only lot" - benefit for you is that you can park a lot more cars into the same space, benefit for the driver is they have more options to park, and benefit for the manufacturer is they can upsell you.
The self-parking car is the hard part. The algorithm to get a bunch of cars to move out of the way seems quite easy by comparison.

You're already protected with valet parking, through a combination of your own insurance and the valets. This wouldn't be any different, you'd pay a few more bucks per year in insurance to save a large percentage in parking -- it would make economic sense in densely packed cities.
