One of the first robotic parking garages to hit North America has opened in Hoboken, New Jersey. Basically, "customers drive their car onto a pallet and exit and the robotic system files their car away in its huge filing system." Video after the jump.
The Garage even utilizes AI and tries to learn customer trends. The garage shuffles the cars around during the day to try to return the cars as quickly and efficiently as possible. The whole system runs on an off-the-shelf PC running GE's simplicity software. Anyone care to guess which operating system they're using for their off-the-shelf PC? *Cough* NT *cough*...
Windows NT Powered?
Theres no way I'd park my car in one of these!

Entrust my car to a Windows computer. Not going to happen. I'll walk the 15 blocks it takes to get to the meeting just to have the security in knowing Bill Gates has nothing to do with where my car is.

Several months ago the city actually had a dispute with the company over the fee of the software and peoples' cars were stuck for days.

they probably have back-up (gasoline) generators.
They probably don't have NT connected to the internet so I'm sure It's relatively safe. And wasn't NT reliable? I thought.
