Intelligent parking
Above ground is a minimalist, glass-walled pavilion with two separate entrances/exits. Drivers drive into the pavilion and immediately onto a lift platform, which features a visual display unit that shows drivers when they have positioned their car correctly. The driver then leaves the facility, with sensors checking when it is safe for the automated steps to begin. The car descends in a lift, and a mechanical distributor slides it to an available parking space. To retrieve a car, its driver can either summon it via the internet or via a panel at the entrance. The original parking process then operates in reverse. This time, however, the car ascends facing outwards, so that the driver may step in and drive off without having to reverse.
