Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone park and tow your car for a change? Of course, you can argue with us and say there’s always an overworked valet to do that for you, but we’re not satisfied here. Now, if they are fully automated, can pull a car up to 20 feet in length, and carry a three-ton load–all while lessening CO2 emissions while doing its job, then that’s far better.
And the best part? This technology is already available–in France’s Aéroports de Lyon. According to Popular Mechanics, French startup Stanley Robotics created an autonomous, electric-powered robot named Stan. Stan not only tows your car, but also decides where to park it.
The company added that Stan can place cars more efficiently, thereby freeing up 50 percent more parking spaces for others to use.
Now, here’s the best part: Stan could also lessen “CO2 emissions by eliminating passenger vehicle traffic on parking lots.” In fact, it has already won an Airport Carbon Accreditation award. Let’s give Stan a pat on the back, here.
