Reply to "Automated Parking"

Upon driving into the loading bay, a series of cameras and sensors track the car as it enters. Infrared and motion detection sensors will not allow the garage door to shut, nor will it activate the lift to elevate to rotate the car until the entire loading bay room is clear. The cameras, besides memorializing the condition of the car as well as measuring the car, will also detect any foreign objects, living or otherwise in the loading bay and will not allow the system to operate if it detects anything. When the car's occupants go through the door leading to the apartments, as the door locks behind them, everything is then activated. This insures that no one is ever in the loading bay-lift area while in operation, and therefore no possibility of someone falling into the hole when the lift is either down in the subterranean level or up on the second or third levels. In the subterranean level where all of the equipment is located, there is no access except for service, and even service personnel will have to disable the system to work on it and to bypass sensors. The programming of these features has taken nearly as long as it took to build the structure as this is the prototype project and the programmers are writing the codes and protocols for all of our future builds.
