The TAL-Vertipark, designed by TAL Manufacturing in India, is an innovative parking garage where cars and other vehicles park on multiple "floors" so as to only occupy the ground space of about three vehicles. This system can be very economical, especially given the expensive real estate prices that are normally encountered by any business which owns or rents property.
The two current TAL-Vertipark modules (20-level, 40 vehicle; and 10-level, 20 vehicle) are designed to accommodate several vehicle sizes including cars, SUVs and minivans.
With this economical design, the only drawbacks I can imagine from the image are large scale earthquakes, oil leaks from upper-level parked vehicles and open sunroofs on lower level vehicles.
