Today we went test-driving cars. We want to buy a people carrier, you see. We found the make and model we like (although I'm not sure we can afford it). But while that's very cool, we experienced something even MORE cool.
We went to the Cavendish Square parking garage at one point, to see how one of the cars handled in tight turns and in a parking situation. We were blown away by a simple use of technology to make the lives of drivers much easier.
Above every parking space, there is a sensor and a light. The sensor detects the presence of a vehicle below it. If there is a vehicle, the light turns red. If there is no vehicle, the light turns green. So, at a glance, drivers can look across the entire parking garage floor, and identify where the available parking bays are.
Now I ask you - HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!
