With self-driving cars, there is no "finding a parking place". You just exit and the car drives on to the next customer.
And without parking cars, streets become wider. Single lane becomes double lane.

There's a reason a lot of cities are converting roads and urban centers into non-car area. Parking and car lanes replaced with bike paths and green areas. It's a much better quality of life. Which, oddly, some people prefer to a 1800s style corporate dystopia where most people's miserable lives are nothing but a means to drive ever more wealth to an elite minority.

In some dense European cities there's physically not enough road surface to put every traveller in a car, self-driving or not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_capacity#/media/File%3APassenger_Capacity_of_different_Transport_Modes.png https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_capacity#/media/File%3...
