Yup. Autonomous vehicles means re-claiming space now used for parking.

Also a lot of people don't use trains because of the last mile problem. (And because in america specifically they are a lower standard than they were in the 1800's).

But if people could get a lift to the station and then to work. Or get the train 10 times a week and get a lift to and from the supermarket once a week without needing to buy a car. That will be a huge reclamation of space.

Could even be like a 10 lane (total) motorway going to two train lines and a two lane road. Not to mention the space it frees on minor roads.
