Good idea, but is the car locked when you park it?
what about "movement sensors" in alarms?

Jambo Whats wrong with the underground system and just parking the car yourself? Quicker and probably easier (unless you can't park)....

Although it looks expensive and the wait is still there, it doesn't make it quicker :/. There would still be a queue as there is only a maximum of 5 loading bays (or 8 if they reprogram it ?). But waiting for a person to park it, faff about with bags and keys and get out of car, and then go over, faff some more with the machine and wait for it to go.
+ on the other hand the wait to get out will be just as much. 2-4minutes per car..
Although its a good idea to maximise space in the carpark, and put owners at ease that they don't have to park the car etc. Be a bit gutted if you left something in the boot you needed though... would take 15mins to get car and park it back up :lol:
Park and Ride would be cheaper?
VW have a tower like this system where they park new cars for owners to collect.

It's not new, Trevipark Ltd based in England, is a player in similar systems and have built
Automatic Car Parks in Rome, Turin, Cesena, Milan and Stockholm Sweden.
Good news is that planning approval has been obtained for a number of installations in London with further installations pending in London and the Home Counties.
