I think the problem is that most of us do not currently have chauffeurs; issues like this can be resolved by asking WWMCD (what would my chauffer do)? Likely, he/she (they) would drive up to a few miles away to a vacant parking lot and wait for your summons, rather than cruise around. If a police officer tapped on the glass, they would move onto another spot, perhaps go fuel up while waiting. By adapting ourselves to a future that has personal, automatic chauffeurs, we start to realize we no longer need proximity to our car. Parking is no longer a problem, costly parking garages are no longer necessary, parking meters disappear, ... it even gets to a point where entire metropolitan areas can "ban" parked cars, allowing all street space to be used for travel (no longer have to widen roads for more flow) and/or beautification/lower collected pollution. And since we have a chauffeur driving us, we can sleep or do work the car, meaning we can start our commutes much earlier / much more widely varied reducing "rush hour" congestion. We no longer have to leave work to pick up kids and take them to soccer practice - the car just does that for us. I have only scratched the surface. Just remember, WWMCD?
