NY gets its first Robotic Parking System

New Yorkers are about to get a taste of the future with the opening of the first robotic parking system in Chinatown in February. Given our time constraints and busy schedules, we can’t help but commend this newly introduced idea. We all have places to go and people to see. Taking the time to look for parking is a straight waste of our time.

But it wouldn’t be our “style” to not include some sort of “bad scenario”. What if the robo-parker malfunctions and drops a 10,000$ Hyundai on your 80,000$ Benz. Wait, here’s a better one- The garage system malfunctions and your car gets stuck inside for days (this one actually happened). In addition, just for laughs…what if you neglect to leave the vehicle, you get lowered into the garage but it gets stuck and you’re suspended 50 feet in the air?
