[Roadsters] OT but very cool New German Parking Garage

[Brian St. Jacques]

I think that is actually the VW plant. Saw a show about it on TV,
hundreds of people arrive every day to pick up their new cars. There is
a fully automated retrieval/carrier system that delivers the car to the
showroom floor without even rolling it - still 0.0 Km on the odometer
when it is handed over.

German Parking Garage

This is pretty amazing! Can you imagine how all this operates? How do
they lock each car in its cubicle for safety?
WHO CARES. NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD GET IN THERE.
Talk about German efficiency! The two photos below were taken at a new
parking garage in Munich . The actual space that the facility occupies
is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional
design that is used primarily in the US . Not only is the German
structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also 'retrieved' in
less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant.
