World's largest automated car park

I've just come across the world's largest automated parking facility thanks to Parking Network.

This amazing car park - or car storage system, which is probably more appropriate - is in the Emirates Financial Towers in Dubai (of course).

The facility is a fully electro-mechanical system, which can handle up to 6 cars per minute, and store up to 1,191 cars over its nine floors. Take a look at the car park in operation below:


Return of cars is simple too, and shouldn't require any waiting, as the parking system system is “intelligent” in that it will adapt based on a driver’s parking history and automatically shuffle the vehicle towards the exit a few minutes before the driver’s standard departure time.

Now wouldn't it be great if we could introduce these facilities for airport parking?
