Sure, it may cost a lot more but the economic benefits of having extra space, particularly if the area is central, may be worth it in the long run. A number of them have already appeared in China<\/a>. The amount of space required for a car\u00a0park is actually very small, with the majority of the space going to elevation and ease of movement. Automation by machines has allowed a\u00a0considerable\u00a0amount of space to be saved. This creates a system for\u00a0car parks similar to vending machines. In line with the increases in battery-powered cars on roads, this also\u00a0allows for the possibility for\u00a0cars to be charged while parking.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
