Everyone is pointing out the same problem with this futuristic robotic car park

Everyone is pointing out the same problem with this futuristic robotic car park

Sceptics are questioning a major flaw in the design.

Imagine no longer stressing about finding a car space.

No more driving laps around the car park looking for a suitable spot or trying to reverse park between two cars whilst a queue of impatient drivers waits behind you.

The future seems to hold robotic car valeting.

Instead, all you need to do is drive into the automated valet, get out of your vehicle, lock it and walk away.

The automatic technology is designed to vertically arrange cars into stacks of parking spaces.

In doing so, the structure of the car park is a lot more compact and seamless as there's no need to implement ramps for drivers to get up and down, or stairs for people on foot to get out.

The system is intelligent in that it analyses and calculates the fastest route to take the vehicle in and out.

Additionally, the futuristic car park also has an integrated car wash which is a great feature if you've been meaning to tick 'wash car' off from your to-do list for a few months now.

As cool as it's designed to function, sceptics are pointing out a major potential flaw - what happens when everyone wants their car out at the same time?

One user commented: 'What happens when the elevator Machine stops working? Besides this can only serve one car at a time.'

'I just loved this but... what happens at the end of the day when everyone needs to get all the cars at the same time?' another viewer stated.

The automatic valet can only handle one car at a time, so imagine the queues after sports games and other large events.

One such incident happened in Stockholm, Sweden back in 2013 whereby the power went off in the automatic car parking system, resulting in 18 vehicles being left in the car park for weeks.

The Reddit community has been offering different alternatives to the technology.

One suggested: 'Instead of an automated parking, they should just have a system that highlights/guides drivers to free spots, it's way easier and faster.'

Similar to those currently being used in Japan, others proposed that the system should be used for bicycles instead of cars, highlighting that 'cars are not the future.'

Meanwhile, one boldly claimed: 'This is technology for the sake of technology. It doesn't solve a single problem but introduces several additional points of possible failure.'
