We’ve already posted a bit about robotic vehicles here at nxtbot.com, but what about robotic garages? Now we have news that VW has developed a robotic car storage and retrieval system for storing new vehicles. It seems that the car grabber can fetch your new car for you if you happen to purchase a vehicle from the VW plant in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Check out a few posts over at Driveline Blog and Inside Line for more information. (Source: Driveline Blog, Inside Line, Snopes) – [Jeff James]

Wow. Makes me want to go to Germany if I ever buy a VW.
How many towers like this does VW have in Germany? Is there a possibility that they could build more of these in other locations?

I saw this a LONG time ago on the Museum of Hoaxes…
It’s not a hoax (as far as I know) — Snopes has confirmation:

It’s not a public parking garage — VW uses it to house some of their newly manufactured vehicles.
I first saw this concept on an episode of Thunderbirds, the cult 1960′s TV series. There’s nothing new under the sun.
