I see 'parking' as just a symptom of a larger issue. The lack of civic planning and encouragement of desirable and healthy balance within communities. Cities should be much more like the Caves of Steel (Asimov). Instead of cars on the roadways pedestrians should have bizarre (market streets), park way, and retail streets. People moving belts could also increase flow. An entirely different layer would be used for the vehicles. Electric motored transport for goods, services, and people; within a city these would likely be orchestrated via central driving servers. At the edge of the city, and likely also by ports and major civic centers, there'd be interfaces for legacy vehicles. Massive parking and warehouse structures that are well connected to the local civic infrastructure for moving goods and people.
