E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
If you saw the way the attendants drive you would go for the machine in a "New York Minute".

why are people always so afraid of technology....these are far better for your car and safer for you then using a standard parking garage. No one can ding your doors, mug you, or hit you with a car. Before someone bitches about it ONLY being able to operate at 99.99% efficency that is a lot lower failure rates then the average airplane OR BMW

I don't even let a valet touch my car, much less a robot. And since when did technology get so advanced in this country? Hell the street lights
don't even work right. Technology doesn't scare me, giving over control
of my $ 75,000 car to low bidder does.
