Owners can easily pick up their cars without any hassle from Car Silos. A sophisticated central robotic arm selects the relevant vehicle to bring it to the owner.

Eureka Car Park:

This facility has directional markers into which a driver goes straight in. However, on a closer view, one would notice distortion in the markers. This is the amazing thing about this facility.
