I actually used it once when I was searching for a place to live. It was interesting to say the least.

It would be fun to anticipate what the machine would bring you next once you hacked into it. It would be like one of those kids vending machines... "Oh, another BMW Z3? I wanted an SUV... better put a few more quarters in..."]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/
A man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going overseas on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the man hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.

Two weeks later, the man returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we're a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The man replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/

I saw these things all over the place in Japan (and they didn't look new either), at varying degrees of complexity. Some were just a glorified mechanics lift that let the rent-a-space people double their profits (ie it just stacked each space two high), and some were the size of our parking garages here, but of course you could get a lot more cars in them because each 'floor' didn't have to allow for a human to walk upright.

Cool as it is, I too have wondered what happens if there's a power outage, or if one car gets stuck somewhere inside...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/fort-lauderdale-to-get-robotic-parking-garage/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AM
