Robot Valets Before Robot Butlers?

Check out this swank parking garage in New York.  Its clean and well lit and for robots only.  Cause lets face it, you let people into a parking garage and they're just going to gunk it up with chewing gum and urine.  Basically you let this robotic car jukebox park you car for you instead of screeching around corners looking for a spot before that soccer mom can get to it.  The space in this particular case went from a 24 spot mini lot to a 67 car sardine can that would make an aircraft carrier jealous.  (if you've never been on an aircraft carrier, trust me, its a tight fit.)  But its the all mechanical attendants that keep people from wasting space by parking with enough room to actually get out the door.

The only humans on hand will be collecting cash, because you just can't trust those robot bastards with money.

Heh, robot bastards always shorting the till.  This sounds pretty good (aside from the reports of dropped and stuck cars) as a second option if I can't have my George Jetson car that folds into a briefcase.
