Default Autonomous parking bot RAY


Autonomous parking bot. RAY is a self-driving robot that can easily park your vehicle. Created by Serva to save space. RAY detects the vehicle and adjusts itself to fit the size of the car or truck. The bot then slides under the vehicle and raises it off the ground. RAY is battery operated, can carry 6,000 lbs, and needs minimal room to maneuver.

100 years from now, parking garages will be used differently. instead of driving into one and going through all the floors looking for a spot, it will simply be drive in the first floor where the robot is and park and leave, it will come and park your car for you. When your done your errands, simply walk back to the same spot and the robot will retrieve your car. Now, a question arises. Is this what we should be spending our time on? Do our legs serve no purpose further? One day this full automation of our every aspect of our lives will come to bite us back.

100 years from now, there will be no parking garages because we are all going to be transported around in autonomous vehicles.
Or, we'll all be dead from the effects of climate change.
But, either way, we won't need parking garages.

Strongly disagree. Parking garages will be re-purposed and used as parking & charging destinations for the autonomous vehicles.

I agree parking garages won't exist as we know them today, but they will definitely exist and used in a totally different fashion in the (near) future. I predict 15-20 years, not 100 years.
