When it's working, the robotic garage is a wonder. It allows twice the parking of a traditional ramp garage, says Robotic's Clarke. "If you back off and look at this, you are looking at elevator technology."
"Wonkavator" might be more apt. The lifts act independently of each other, and move in many directions, instead of just up and down. Every entry/exit station can accommodate 40 cars per hour, and every space is essentially a separate machine acting cooperatively. As the lot is used, it learns when particular cars tend to be picked up and dropped off and shuffles its load to optimize pickup time.
