Relax, Let the Robot Do It: Automated Parking and the Human Species

It is safer, you know. We humans are unpredictable and are known for our chaotic disorder. Automated and robotic systems create the antithesis of chaos, bringing order and calm to the humanized world. The automated world is slowly seeping into ours with the automated parallel parking systems, the rain sensing windshield wiper controls, and verbal command recognition, among others. Fully automated cars are expected to be available in the near future, but what if we told you that automated parking was available today. Not just that, but what if we told you that it would actually help the environment, cost less, save money, and guarantee that each car is safe and that it will take less than 60 seconds to retrieve each car?

Remove the potential for vandalism, the fear as you walk through a dark garage, the concern for you and your car’s well being, and the human factor. Simon Design’s automated parking facilities eliminate human error and threats, while providing the opportunity for sensible urban growth and earth-friendly, self-sustained operation. Our patented automated parking facility offers a host of advantages, well beyond other robotic parking garages you read about. For example, our facility will not allow for an animal, child, or adult to be left in the car and it cuts down on emissions because from the moment you turn off your car, it remains off. No more driving around looking for a space. Even if you forget your presentation in the car or need to drop off shopping bags, you can easily retrieve your car for as long as necessary before returning it, all from the same pod. The facility is also entirely contained so you don’t have to worry about the weather or hot leather seats, and you never have to worry about it being stolen or broken into.

With available space on the decline, your beloved car will have to fit into that 7’-6” wide parking space next to that dented SUV and the clearly unloved, rusted Honda, or you will be back on the street looking for parking for under twenty bucks. With Simon Design’s automated parking facility, your car is never touched, sat in, rifled through, driven around town, or near another human. The basic idea: you drive onto a large turn table in a covered pod, get out, take a parking ticket, and leave. Moments after you leave, your car is swept away and taken up, or down to the appropriate dock where it will remain with its automobile brethren. Upon your return, you pay your ticket at a pay station located in a pod which alerts the facility that your car is needed. Sixty seconds later, possibly before you can find your keys, your car appears and you drive off. Forget about parking stress; let Simon Design Engineering’s automated system be your next parking solution.
