Never would I have thought I’d ever need special instructions to park my car. But that assumption was put to the test recently upon my arrival at a new hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

That’s because what greeted me at this place was a fully automated car lift. And if that idea is as science fiction-y as it sounds, that’s because it actually is. The vertical car parking garage operates using a cool mechanical system.
