"This parking garage is an architectural and technological gem constructed in 1985 is an underground parking house by the entrance of the village. This is an automated circular garage.
You drive your vehicle onto the platform, remove the items you do not wish to leave in the car, and then depart the car bay.
As you observe, the robotic car server tray slides under your vehicle and raises it into the air, then slides back into the building and your vehicle is on its way to the designated parking space.
The robotic car server tray rotates your vehicle for reverse insertion into the parking space and when the correct level is reached, the server tray slide into the parking space and lowers the vehicle into the space.
Retrieving the vehicle is just the reverse of leaving the vehicle.
Quite a wonderful space saving garage for the big cities and small towns of Europe while providing high security for the vehicle. There should be thousands more these "invisible" parking garages and then covered with a nice city public park. Would this not help alleviate the ugly city streets and promote environmental planet love?"
