I know the tech is real. The problem is that the white car in the first part rocks too much and too precisely. It's clearly a CGI demo in that segment.
If they can carry that much weight of a car, they can also carry that much weight of high explosives, and if joined together, go over bumps, hills and obstacles. We should worry
Most parking structures i have used have speed bumps. These could be useful within the structure, it seems that it would be easy to design a countermeasures to easily deter the use of these in theft.
A small dip on the exit of the parking garage would stop these, a speed bump by the exit would stop these, the tire shredders that keep people from going the wrong way into the parking lot would stop these. The ground clearance and break over angles are near zero.
I remember being baffled at the tire shredder things the first time i was in CA until i saw the sign warning about damage. They really do not exist in the Northeast, guessing because they could freeze in the up position in winter meaning even a driver following the arrows would have problems.
There are two main types, moving and stationary ones. The stationary ones keep people from entering the exit and bypassing parking, they would be fine in the northeast. The moving ones are generally there to stop people from entering/leaving without paying.

See, this is the kinda shit AI should be used to improve. Not stealing peoples' art.

Steal cars, not Art.

i liked the video of the cops using some of these to move a legally parked car to some place they could ticket it
KingofRogues
why dont we just make cars like this lol
HumanCats
There's plenty of manufacturers who make self parking cars aleady so I agree.

Only works in a country where paving isn't a money making scheme

Car theft is going to blow up
skipweasel
Most of the carparks round here are so scabby you'd neeed big fat chunky tyres to stand any chance of this working.
albaboss
Right?? My street has so many potholes on it this would never be feasible
evilspock
I want this to not be sped up. They should actually go that fast. It would be AWESOME.
htapoicoS
Nice, now we don't need engines anymore
HaYouLose
I want to see them used here to remove cars taking up two spaces.

The car being put into the parking space has weight shift so much that this is obviously CGI.

Please do not give the robots any idea.

I worry way more over a raspberry pi than I ever would these things.
technicalfool
You have more to worry about from drainpipes and propane tanks than these.

Sick drift, bro
BlastyMcBlastblast
the only way to stop thieves using this to steal your car is to park on a gravel surface...
Canigetbannedagain2
A regular pallet jack can lift 6,000 lbs, but a zip tie can stop it. So gravel and zip ties. Maybe a handful of Legos.

too bad thieves have things with bigger wheels

in a few inches of water!
alienstomper
Nah ill just get smaller ones for the gravel
Filanwizard
Or a sequence of small ruts behind the parking spaces like cattle bars but only say half an inch deep.

Well, it's not the only way. I feel like landmines would be a pretty effective deterrent. Not so much if you want to drive yourself, though.
BananaForScaIe
Or badgers. For once, we might need some stinkin' badgers.

Trunk monkey is all you need

what if i arm my trunk monkey with pocket sand?

I see the wrong group of people getting their hands on these :/

technicalfool
If you can get your hands on one of these and the knowledge/tools to command them, you probably have access to a bottle jack and some wheels.
DippinDerps
I think there is a big time difference with these compared to some jack and those wheeled chocks lol

Why speed this up?
⬇️
comeonjointhejoyride
Because no time. Pls hurry
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
So that it goes faster
RigoryMorty
To fit platforms with limited video length.

For the karma
PalaverQuader
things be slow
Mohareb
Wouldn't even fit in a 1 min gif if it was normal speed. Also most people have an attentionspan that rivals the rumored one of goldfish
Nerdy0ne
The first part makes a good point. Sorry, didn't read the whole thing.
Lundgren1835
because they are superslow in normal speed
BipedalHumanoidWithSlightlyDifferentNoseRidge
Then why does the car wobble in the 180..?
laacis2
CGI
BipedalHumanoidWithSlightlyDifferentNoseRidge
.... or 360... or 540...whatever the spin was.
imsam77
270 imo
Lundgren1835
because its animated look closer
Cilvaa
These types of robots do exist though, the OP clip seems to be a 3D artist's interpretation
BipedalHumanoidWithSlightlyDifferentNoseRidge
This is animation?
For what? Product ads?
