Robo-parking Approved for Downtown Loft Project
6 April 2005 - 2:00pm
Ft. Lauderdale, FL, approved an automated parking garage -- a robotic system that stacks cars in less space than conventional parking garages -- for a downtown loft project.
"The robotic parking system is a rarity in this country but popular in Europe...the way it works is, a driver pulls in and drives onto a parking tray. The machine does the rest...It'll scan your car to make sure there's no dog in there or baby or husband...When the resident is ready for the car, a handheld device can be scanned in the elevator on the way down. The car will be waiting."

Maybe we should blame Thomas Jefferson. He was the godfather of the urban sprawl racket in America.
