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."
