Combined with cars that reside in remote places to pick you up on demand. Then our cities will have more spaces that is currently occupied by parking.

I think this is the biggest part, and less the "sleep in your car while you commute for 5 hours each way!" which sounds fucking terrible.

Imagine the amount of space and time saved by having 1 enormous lot on the outskirt of town, like an airport. You walk around your dense urban area, call your car, 10 minutes it's there, it drops you off, and parks itself. No circling the block, no terrible big box concrete hellscapes, just Park Slope without the frustration.

Cheap, too. Building parking in NYC costs ~$100k a spot https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/us/12parking.html

I'm actually looking forward to that. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "dying in your sleep."
