Parking Just Got More Effecient

Efficient....

New? I parked in one like that in Munich 20+ years ago.

maybe you need to brush up on that Evelyn Wood course.

One of the First Fully-Automated Parking Structures in the US/ one of the people in the clip mentioned using one in europe but not the US

Slow on the uptake as usual.

I had problems getting my car back out of the machine. A two seater MG went in and a Merc came out, my ignition keys didn't fit!

and the VW factory is another

That image made my head swim.

'Fully' automated means whatever the spokesperson means it to be. There were automated parking decks in Ohio in the 1950s. A human had to push a button.

When the car drops off the passenger, selects the parking deck, drives itself there and waits until the passenger is ready to be picked up, then leaves the parking deck and fetches the passenger -- all without human intervention -- then that will be 'fully automated' the way I'd define it.

Nah, it is not FULLY automated until the passenger is no longer necessary, either. The car takes care of the whole trip. Patients going to the doctor does not count, unless the doctor is also robotic.

If we are going to delve into passing employments into obsolescence, why stop at McDonald's servers, cooks, dishwashers, etc. Heck they had the "automat" sandwich dispensers back in the 1930's, I think. Why not automate the lawyers, politicians, doctors, judges, and jailers too. Robocop on the rise!

I personally have my doubts about a machine dispensing my ham and butter on white, much less dispensing law and order, justice, truth, or the American Way. I want superman for that. I think bikini-clad, female parking attendants should be standard go in summer. In winter, I don't much care, just want out of the cold (and they would too).

So, yes, fully automated would be me not having to go to the doctor's office at all, for a ridiculous fee, nothing new learned, only a cursory checkup, and botched blood chemistry results. Why not just fast-forward to the cemetery if it that bad? Or just stay home and drink beer.

"Meet 'Ross,' the newly hired legal robot"

One of the country's biggest law firms has become the first to publicly announce that it has "hired" a robot lawyer to assist with bankruptcy cases. The robot, called ROSS, has been marketed as "the world's first artificially intelligent attorney."

ROSS has joined the ranks of law firm BakerHostetler, which employs about 50 human lawyers just in its bankruptcy practice. "The AI machine, powered by IBM's Watson technology, will serve as a legal researcher for the firm. It will be responsible for sifting through thousands of legal documents to bolster the firm's cases. These legal researcher jobs are typically filled by fresh-out-of-school lawyers early on in their careers."

helicopter money for those without jobs only means banks printing money backed by nothing, not even the king's new clothes.

A house of cards, divided or not, cannot withstand the pressure, and will fall.

When it falls, patriots will be there to start society back on course. This is the true way of government by the people, of the people, and for the people.

Better folks get awake and get on the train (not the love train, but close to it), for if you miss it, I'm sorry for you.

..."(not the love train, but close to it)"...

Oh you must mean the soul train....

Nah, the soul train is AFTER the robots starve us out, smoke us out, out smoke us, and rout us out, and the only thing going are our souls, because our bodies will return to the dust in the wind.

..."dust in the wind."

Oh you must mean Kansas...

Hey! They stole our sign that said, "Ski Lubbock", even showed a sort of hill thingy.
