Looks like we’re a step closer to the inevitable robot takeover day. A parking lot that moves vehicles using lasers and all sorts of machinery is set to open next month in Chinatown. This wouldn’t be the first time that the NYC metro area has a opened such a lot. The folks across the Hudson in Hoboken, has already seen the kind of destruction robotic parking has wrought. In 2004, a Cadillac Deville was dropped six floors, and in a Jeep four stories the following year. In 2006, cars were trapped in for 26 hours. Yet, I do admit being intrigued, but at $25 a day, I still won’t be taking the vee-dub to Chinatown for weekend dim sum.
