Robot Valets

Mish covered this but I have a different take...

Travelers at Duesseldorf airport in Germany can soon leave the job to a robot valet.
An airport spokesman says the robot, nicknamed Ray, starts work Tuesday and can be booked using a smartphone app.
Thomas Koetter says all travelers need to do is leave their car in a designated area and confirm it's empty and ready to go.

Eventually, we'll go to mag lev for personal transport and you'll get out of your carpod at your destination, and the computers will move your car to a parking slot... so machines like this are transitory, like a 8 Track Tape Deck.
