Yeah, a managed fleet system could have very different congestion characteristics, but the proposal was specifically that self-parking might be a game changer on its own. At that point it's basically valet parking, and you still have to stash the cars somewhere, and they still have to go back and forth between that somewhere and wherever the passengers got out.
You get rid of the circling but I don't think you get rid of queuing and grid backups.
- lovemenot 7y agoThere's a lot of automatic parking in Tokyo and other cities in Japan. Drive up to the building, which has space for just one car in the "lobby". Get out of the car, enter data into the console. Your car then enters the building and is stored by a robotic system. Later, do the same in reverse.
