Robotic Bike Parking

I’d like a robot that’d make me a sandwich. Maybe read my email aloud in the voice of Data and degrease/lube a chain in one fast operation. A robot that parks bikes is good as well …

Noted elsewhere

But I think I’d rather have a hardass bike valet carefully keep all the bikes inline and monitor them, then a darn robot. Robots are prone to growing into giants and taking over the world.

Wow quite an amazing machine. Although I am not sure that I would like to live in a place that is so congested that they need these.

Good point and why I thought bike valets are more civil.

And ain’t not cargo bike going into that machine. I wonder if the ticket you get to reclaim your bike has a big disclaimer that the bike maybe destroyed.
