That car can be Smart-sized: half as long. But imagine no parking space would be needed anymore.

Roads are still roads though. And they get pretty full now. Imagine rush hour with twice the traffic.
A massive robo-taxi company is well prepared to put several people going to a same place in a single taxi. I expect the full robo-traffic to actually be less than the traffic of vehicles occupied by owner alone.
It'll sure take lots of tricks like that to mitigate the huge downside. At some point it just becomes a bus route.
