'Despite the undeniable Jetsons cachet of the robo-garage, the Summit Grand Parc went automatic only because it had to. A 60-foot-by-106-foot lot behind the building, the only land available for a conventional garage, couldn't hold more than 14 spaces.' One potential problem for suffering city dwellers: long lines at rush hour."

    Easily the best reason for Slate's continued existence. Oh, that and the fact that Microsoft is willing to hang on to money-losing ventures.
