20 Garage and Parking Innovations

Secret underground garages for your expensive sports car, elevators that let you keep your vehicle at arm’s reach right in your apartment and parking lots at sea: These are all innovations in vehicle storage that make a typical driveway carport a thing of the past.

Eventually we all have to stop driving and find a place to leave the car, so why not make it a little more enjoyable? There are parking meters at which you can use your cell phone to pay your fee, virtual fireworks to locate your ride and oversized spaces painted pink for lady drivers.

Don’t get excited: The larger spots are not intended to be a reflection on a woman’s ability to park, but rather the spaces are located closer to building entrances and are video monitored for safety purposes.
