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?
