these things are amazing. It’s a great idea and i hope to see it in the US soon. they started the idea with bikes in france. the machine can retrieve ur bike in like 10 seconds or something. they only thing i’d be worried about is if it broke down or anything, then theres no way in hell to get the cars out. ---

thats not a parking garage. that is the VW plant. finished cars sit there, until delivery. the system could be used as a parking garage. but i dont think that it is in use yet. great idea tho…would really make parking space in cities and tight spaces muc easier… ---
