A proposal for a new mode of automobile parking, where instead of people paying for fixed parking spots, an app dynamically finds lots in the vicinity based on the user's preferences in accessibility, availability, and price. Combined with self-driving technology, vehicles may automatically find vacant lots and park themselves when not in use.
