Would you let a robot park your car?

I gotta tell yah, this is one slick design.

Could be a very profitable company.

that's pretty cool.. but where is the automatic car wash option?

I expect I'd have to vacuum all the roaches out of my carpet first. :-[

Actually, I'd let one drive me to work too, then do my job.

I'll just manage the finance payments.

Yeah I would let them automatically park my car. The Germans and Japanese have been doing this for years now and I think it’s a great system that’s starting to catch on in other parts of the world for example Dubai has the first automated car park in the new Ibn Battuta Gate Complex. VW has a stunning automated system at Autostadt, Volkswagen’s exhibition complex

I also know BMW has also released its production cars including the newest BMW 5 series my dad and I were looking at; to scan normal parking lots and roads at speeds lower than 20 km per hour and then press a single button and the car will park its self if the readings say the car will fit. All you as the driver control is the break.

One of my favourite concepts though is the garage in the apartment loft that or just put it on display in the lounge.
