How the hell do you even get in that situation?
Saves a lot of space. I’m going to go practice.
Walkable city advocates hate this one simple trick
I can envision this being semi feasible with electric cars.
Maybe not with street parking, but some kind of standardized wheelbase to charger dimensions, and some lifts/carousels. Charge and maybe more efficient parking too.
Drive in, get out, machine clamps up, plugs up, and then lifts the car vertical and turns to the next slot. It’d be fun to watch anyway. Like a round Vert-a-pac.
Probably some mechanical reason electric vehicles can’t be vertical that I don’t know about though.
I remember this being a thing in I, Robot
or some similar scifi movie I watched as a kidand I remember thinking, “hope you remembered to take your coffee cup out of the cup holder lol”
edit: found the clip, my memory was correct. and the top comment is my thought exactly 😂
Well for one, electric cars are very heavy. This clamp point would have to be highly reinforced. I also feel like the risk of accidentally crushing people with cars would make it not worth it. Interesting idea though.
Yep. Great point.
Sci-fi power density required.
It’d also be awesome to watch people’s stuff go flying inside the car when they forget to secure it before entering vertical mode.
That’s completely normal
