World's "coolest" parking lot unveiled

Tired of struggling to find a parking space?

This car park "robot" may be able to give you a lift.

It's an automated car parking system developed by Yee Fung Technology, a company based in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.

A driver only needs to take the vehicle into a loading bay, gets out of the car, swipes an access card, and press a button several times to make sure it's properly locked.

A lift then drives the vehicle to the required floor and takes it to the designated place.

When the driver needs the car again, they wait for the computerized system to retrieve the vehicle.

The "robot" delivers the car in about two minutes.

This takes too much time. Imagine a group of 20 car owners want their car back. This gonna be a struggle of patience...

I guess the car moving operations are all taken simultaneously so number of cars needed to be moved is not a factor in counting time.

Robotic valets. But it depends on how many valets are available at a time.

It's easy to solve this.
They can also develop an app with which drivers can order to move the car out on their way to the parking lot.

Great idea! Also there would be multiple entrance/exits/loading areas to ensure the waiting time is pleasant enough.
