“It's basically a vending machine for cars,” Ari Milstein, executive director of Automotion Parking, told The Daily News of the giant, robot-controlled parking garage that will be breaking ground next week in Brooklyn. Automotion was chosen by the city to design and build the futuristic new lot, which will sit underneath Willoughby Square Park. A bit reminiscent of the human-farming scene from the Matrix, the $35 million garage will be able to pack nearly 700 cars into a very compact space and shuffle them using robots so that virtually no human staff is needed.
