What is Digg?43 Comments
- Barman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I think this is inaccurate. From what I remember its a auto manufacturing plant in Germany.
- sydlexius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17You are correct. Specifically, this is located at VW's Autostadt facility. http://www.autostadt.de/portal/site/www/template.PAGE/
Snopes even has info here: http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/parkade.asp - chaimpot0k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9http://www.duggmirror.com
Site seems to be down already, by the way this isn't in Japan although they do have similar garages - Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Do they accept payment in quarters?
- LonesomeFighter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think Barman is right. I thought i saw this before, not on digg though. And i swear it said it was German. well, either way it's awesome and I want it in America.
- pongx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7That is freekin sweet!
- steve693, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Inaccurate. Buried.
- JeremyL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I can just image the minimum wage parking guy dropping one haha
- keegan3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"isn't not inaccurate."
what??
that's like a triple negative :) - G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, buried as inaccurate.
I thought it was odd that a japanese parking lot was full of Volkswagons... heh - dwnhll289, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Odd how all the cars look like VW's... This is inaccurate.
- G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2haha, let me break it down.
isn't not inaccurate
it's inaccurate (negative)
its not inaccurate (double negative, positive)
it isn't not inaccurate (triple negative, negative) So cancel out the excess negatives, and it becomes "positive" - benijuana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope they have more than the two lifts in the picture, its a cool idea but would be ridiculously slow in a dense area if it took 5 minutes to get one car at a a time
- TravisG5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Imagine staying in one of the cars to go for a fun ride...
- elche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice! This is just unreal man!
- megalodon103, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/Japanese_Extreme_Parking/
- BigCalhoun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Would have been nice to have a real article explaining the manufacturer, technology, and process, etc. Dugg anyway b/c it's a cool concept. You gotta figure in someplace like New York City, you could probably eliminate 4 parking garages for every 1 of these vertical garages you put up, and charge a bump more!!
- shirosamurai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3That joke would work better if they used American money :p
- Burento, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just hope to god it doesnt break with your car on the top... lol
- ellisgl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is old. I've seen pictures of this type of system years ago.
Now if did this in the US.... - IMustBeEmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@G-RaZoR
Positive that it's inaccurate or accurate? - ellisgl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Have 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.
- rm999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heh, that's cool. They have things like that in New York City, but no more than 3-4 floors tall (from what I've seen). The ones I have seem take a bit of labor, still not automated like in iRobot
- Portaljacker, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1I feel sorry for any kids that want to stay in the car.
- sasgold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wired did a short article about this over a year ago.
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.12/start.html?pg=1 - Aikinai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Obviously 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.
- Burento, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah apparently my server confused Digg with a DOS attack... ROFL.. SO they dropped my account
- PaulLev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hmm... 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...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2reminds me of iRobot in a way, can't wait for that day!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In NYC people would live in their cars for the $400 a month rent in a private underground garage.
- MaxPayne3476, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0First off, isn't this just robotic parking?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070129/ap_on_hi_te/robotic_garage
New York is set to get one and Hoboken, NJ already has one setup, and there are a few others around the country? It just looks really cool. - Fungo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hope you didn't leave your bag in the car.
- kazuhima, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1do they accept payment with 100yen dama? is more like it :P
- waynelyp90, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Suspended account?!
- jeffyeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We have some similar stuff in Taipei, but not that cool.
The problem is when a lot of people want to get their car in a certain time, they have queue up waiting for the "car elevator" get their care. Sometimes more than 15 min. - quoquo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1actually 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.
- shandyking, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Awsome!
- Gir53457, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Just try to fit an American car into that think.
- ArenaRon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yup it is the Volkswagen parking lot, you get to pick up your car from the plant and they deliver it.
- Burento, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nope..
Also in Japan they have a huge place like this that has new cars for sale. It is like a huge car vending machine that is pretty cool. - Nikon87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Account has been suspended?
- dominasian, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1i can the idiots that stay in the car for fun and then that happens
- pronouncable, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2This isn't not inaccurate.
