Robot Valet

Apparently in Germany there is a robot valet to park your car. It is like a lift and it will scan the car and after it is done measuring it, it will come and pick up the car and place it into a designated parking spot. It is called RAY and can booked with an app. It is able to life three tons and is able to park 60% more cars than a human could. Also, with the app it the person can tell it if their flight is delayed or if there was a change in their flights. There are talks about a car that is compatibility with RAY. Their main target audience is solely business people. Some who suddenly needs to leave on business and who will be back in a few days. I think it is a pretty good idea. While I admit the main target audience is still small what they could accomplish with it is fascinating. Not only for lifting up and parking cars but I could see it as a construction like equipment or for something like a factory. However, according to the article a place in New Jersey has something to rival that.  Something like a garage that inside with the parking can be shuffled like a Rubik’s cube. I do not know though, both ideas have merit and potential flaws. I think that if the valet would expand its business and target audience, it would have more of a chance of success.
