Sanoyas Hishini Meisho was just one of the many companies that helped modernize and revitalize Japan’s parking systems. In Japan, there are now over 1.6 million automated systems. Many of these use multi-leveling to maximize the space. Multi-level parking involves stacking cars vertically.
The conveyor will automatically rotate the vehicle and bring it to the car owner when he or she wants to collect the car. The Japan Timesreported in 2012 that ten people had died from multi-level parking accident. It is unlikely we will see this at Walmart or other stores.
