Parking the Future

In this episode of Parking the Future, author and urban mobility expert Brooke Krieger narrates Chapter Four, exploring how autonomous vehicles (AVs) are forcing a transformation in the business models that underpin the parking and mobility industries.

This chapter examines:
  • How parking operators, municipalities, and mobility providers must evolve beyond human-centered operations
  • What enforcement and citation models might look like in a world without human error
  • The shift from consumer vehicle ownership to shared AV fleets—and its ripple effects on pricing, operations, and infrastructure
  • New monetization strategies for curb access, fleet support, and dynamic usage
  • How AVs are reshaping public-private partnerships and redefining the role of local governments in transportation
Krieger outlines the urgent need for adaptability in an era where vehicles are no longer just parked—they’re constantly in motion, managed by data, and delivering services autonomously.

This chapter provides a thought-provoking look at how entire industries must reimagine their roles, revenue streams, and relationships with the public as we move toward a driverless future.
