Robots Parking Your Car?




Have you ever been in a large city and had no where to park? They may have came up with the perfect solution. Robots are now parking your cars on top of each other to provide more room. Yes you heard me right, robots are parking your car. After you park your car, it is moved to a different level, either up or down. Then they can also be moved from left to right. This triples the amount of parking spaces. At first I thought that there was no way this could work. If you wanted to leave before someone else, how long would you have to wait before your car got to you? Since the cars can move up, down, left, and right it could take only seconds. The longest they said it might take would be a minute or so. There is always going to be parking problems in larger cities. I think this is a great idea. Like they said, it is a very efficient way to create a solution to this problem.

  1. Good to see Americans finally taking advantage of the more efficient technology. Did you know that in Tokyo they have escalators that only burn electricity when somebody needs to use them. You have to wonder how you get you gar out when that parking robot brakes down, Escalators brake they become stairs.

  2. This is very true. I don't know what they would do. It would be my luck that I would be that person to get stuck waiting for my car. Hopefully that won't happen.

  4. Well, one would hope that they have a back up system just in case of power failure. Some kind of a lever to pull or a wheel to turn to make the cars come back down to where you need them.
