Automated Car park garage, cool stuff

[TheDruid]

Im not surprised it exists, but very cool indeed. Apparently it even learns a drivers drop-off and pickup habits and shuffles cars for fast retrieval. But the context of the story is that a contract expired between the city and the garage operators leaving cars locked in the parking lot for days

I have seen simmilar ones discuss before from Japan http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/automated-japanese-parking-garage

Very cool, until you get into problems like what was in the story you linked too.

These are very cool to see in action, it's like a vending machine...but for cars!
