Get one of these and you can just steal all the cars lol

I imagine this could (at least modestly) reduce the size of new parking lots or garages and increase the capacity of existing ones if the extra room given to maneuver is no longer needed because of these robots ability to zero-turn a vehicle into or out of virtually any space.
-
Very modestly. Humans need the same amount of space to maneuver more or less because the size of the car is the limiting factor.

Pretty neat, I wonder how it plans the movement and maksure it doesn't clothesline the car on something. Maybe the facility would need mounted sensors like valve lighthouses? Seems hard to know that the car roof won't scrape or anything if all the sensors are down in the skateboard
-
Not a bad point. Probably preconfigured limits at location, or ignored setting set by people. I.e. we know we have high enough clearance for up to this much, we won't set it off on bigger cars. On automated car park silos probably just a bar at the entrance (like they already exists) to allow only cars below a certain height.

Yes I'm sure there will be zero edge cases that will cause someone to die from this
-
Most warehouses have similar, death by robot or a moron in a forklift?
-
Whichever gets the funnier video

Now I want these just roaming around the city moving cars to maximize parking space.

PLEASE TIP VALET BOT.

I can't tell if this is AI gen, but it looks like something that would be AI gen
The robot seems to move very jerkily, (although that could be because it's sped up)
But this seems like too much magic. There's no obvious sensors or wheels or motors to make the thing move autonomously
Edit: also that squeezing motion shouldn't work to pick up the car. The tire is made of rubber and therefore quite grippy, so the arms would have to rotate themselves (because they can't slide underneath the rubber)
As well, there doesn't appear to be any mechanism on top of the thing to hold the weight of the car. There's no way those flimsy arms, in a 3rd class lever configuration, are capable of lifting a 1 ton vehicle
