weirdasianews.com — Wonder how a populated city can save on parking spaces? As you can see below Japan has solved this problem. The parking lot is 20 floors high. If you have fear of highs, don?t worry, it is operated by machine so you don?t leave the ground floor.

Have you parked your car in an garage that really only let one car up or down the lane at one time? Plus have to walk down a bunch of stairs.. 5 minutes isn't bad. Only thing you miss is the drunk person falling down the walk.

Yup it is the Volkswagen parking lot, you get to pick up your car from the plant and they deliver it.

Hmm... reminds me of a story I read in Analog Magazine a few years ago ... Parallel Parking - a garage that takes care of overflow by putting the cars in a parallel universe...

actually it's just a showroom gimmick for people who pick up their cars from the vw factory, and of course it's a prestigious architectural penis enlargement device for the group.

reminds me of iRobot in a way, can't wait for that day!

Obviously people above have proved this picture isn't a parking lot, but they do have robotic (juke-box style) parking in Japan. Though I've never seen one this big.

@G-RaZoRPositive that it's inaccurate or accurate?
