I think the eventual goal will be that most cars will be self-driving and that will negate most of those problems.

I imagine that the vision of the future is a giant car-sharing program made up of self-driving cars all coordinated by Google. Think about it - you fire up an app to request a car, one appears at your door within a couple of minutes, takes you to work, then disappears. After work, a different car picks you up, whisks you home, then scurries off to recharge/refuel/drive someone else. I suspect that in the long term the thinking is that things like "parking" and "owning a car" will be less common than they are today.

There will still be a place for manually driven cars, like ones pulling a trailer, etc.
