Uh…can someone get my car down…please?
Monster Garage

An automated parking garage - Park the car, lock the doors, walk away, and the elevators move it up and over into an empty space. Sort of like putting toys away in a warehouse-shelving unit. No parking attendant, no way to walk to your car and drive away, and if the power goes down…then what?
On the one hand it’s ingenious, on the other it’s an awful lot like applying vending machine technology to car parking – and I’ve lost a whole lot of change into those vending machines.
