FRUSTRATING searches for your car may become
a thing of the past. Ohio-based Robotic Parking
hopes to bring fully automated lots to the United
States. Leave your locked car on a pallet at
the entrance bay and let the computerized system
take it through a series of lifts and carriers
to a vacant slot. The garages can squeeze up
to twice the number of cars in the same space
as a conventional garage and don't require attendants.
The automated valet, so to speak, will fetch
your car in minutes. Parking has never been
this easy - just don't leave your ticket on
the dash.
