I like the idea, but I wonder how 'safe' it is, and what's the plan when many people want to 'check-out' at once. I'd like to know if there is a backup way to get your car out if the robots decide to go on strike and attack the human race, and if people can acccess the 'parked' cars (see backup way) but this time I'm talking about security / anti-theft stuff, you know.]]>Jan 30th 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/
Automated parking will make the vehicle secure from theft, dings, dents, and a car jockey damaging the vehicle. It will not solve every problem of traffic flow in large crowds and the street infrastructre unable to handle the cars.]]>Feb 2nd 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Jan 30th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Jan 30th 2007 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/
Like the rest of you, I really like the idea, and it's definetely worth the cash if it works. But one of my main questions would be, is there a 'back-up' way to get your car back, like for instance, say the 'robot(s)' decide to destroy the human race, you'd still want your car, can you get it or is it impossible? If it IS possible, people have access to the cars, so what's the deal with security / anti-theft, just hanging some camera's would not be enough for me!

Luckely, I don't drive and have no problems with parking :)]]>Jan 30th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Feb 2nd 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Feb 2nd 2007 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Jan 30th 2007 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Feb 2nd 2007 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/
If they added a second bay you need two robots moving cars in the same space. sounds dicey. Definately not a place to park during a football game or concert.

As I understood it, some additional requirements had to be met, one of them concerning ceiling sprinklers. Moreover, a small newsagents' right at the parking lot, where one could seek assistance, was lacking its indispensible toilet ... This project in New York however shows me there are obviously more prestigious sites of higher priority having less problems getting started than our local prototype.]]>Jan 30th 2007 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Feb 2nd 2007 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Feb 2nd 2007 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Jan 30th 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Feb 2nd 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/Jan 30th 2007 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/robotic-parking-garage-hits-new-york/

Ever heard of a valet? You know a person gets in your car and drives it away, and to get it back you have to hand him a ticket and wait. If you forgot something in your car it will most likely take about the same amount of time to retrieve your car from a valet as from the robotic garage. So are you suggesting that we get rid of valets as well, I think rich people like myself just might have to revolt, I hate parking especially in the rain in D.C.
