Fully automatic, you just pop in few coins and car just vanish into capsule.

But, I still like the old conventional way of parking your own car.

Its not a public parking garage. Its actually the vehicle storage facility for newly made Volkswagens in their huge complex called the Autostadt. Much trendier than your standard multilevel warehouse.

Nice. No one will be there to open a door and "ding" yours. I saw on the TV the same type of the garage in Japan, but for bicycles...

 

Thats interesting and horrifying at the same time. Imagine if just one of those caught on fire or there was an earthquake or....wonder what the insurance rates are.

Garages

Here in Central Florida alot of the dealers have been building multi level parking garages instead of having there inventory spread out over acres of parking lot. I guess property is going at such a premium that it is cheaper for them to build multi level parking garages than to buy property.
