So how do you squeeze more cars into less space? Build a robot. Automotion Parking is set to open a second automated robotic parking garage in Chinatown next month. The parking system requires no human supervision and moves cars on a series of lifts. Drivers simply park on a pallet, put the emergency break on and leave. When retreaving a car the system even turns it around on a giant lazy susan so the driver can drive straigh out of the garage as opposed to backing out into traffic.

Mazda has launched a nicely executed Flash-based online Museum chronically the companies history back to the 1920’s. Fans of Mazda’s Wankel Rotary engines can trace it’s usage back to the beginning. There are more than a few prize finds I didn’t know existed like the Cosmo 21. A 2002 rebirth of the famous Cosmo Sport 110s (shown below).

The museum also showcases two new concept cars unveiled at the 2007 Detroit auto show. There are plenty of mind blowing pictures of the new Mazda Ryuga and Nagare. Also a behind the scenes video of the Nagare design team at work.
