Three different scenarios could lead to lower need for parking:
1) We all end up basically using self-driving taxis: no need for parking.
2) We continue to own our own cars, but after dropping us off they drive themselves to a holding lot on cheaper land outside of downtown: still need parking, but the location is changed.
3) We all continue to own the cars, but for technical/legal/traffic issues they aren't able/allowed to do scenario 2: park on-site, but you still need less parking (in terms of area), because the car is much more precise in parking itself than a human and you don't need to open the doors after the car is parked, so the circulation areas and parking spaces can be much smaller than they are currently.
